Arducam B0229 Raspberry Pi Camera Ribbon Flex Extension Cable Set (5cm, 60cm, 100cm)

These cables are universally compatible with all Raspberry Pi models featuring the standard 15-pin Camera Serial Interface (CSI) or Display Serial Interface (DSI) connectors. This includes the Raspberry Pi A, B, Zero, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 series boards, as well as official Raspberry Pi Camera Modules and display adapters. The 1.0mm pitch connector is the native interface, ensuring a direct plug-and-play connection without any adapters required for standard configurations.

For reliable high-speed data transmission with Raspberry Pi camera modules, it is recommended to keep extension lengths under 30cm for optimal signal integrity, especially for higher-resolution sensors. This Arducam set provides a 5cm cable for tight builds and longer 60cm and 100cm options for more flexible layouts. For the longer cables, ensure they are routed away from sources of electrical noise and are not tightly bent or crimped, as this can affect the MIPI CSI-2 signal quality and cause image artifacts or connection drops.

Yes, these 15-pin flex cables are also compatible with the Display Serial Interface (DSI) port on Raspberry Pi boards. You can use them to connect compatible Raspberry Pi touchscreen displays or DSI adapter boards. The same considerations for length and signal integrity apply. Ensure the display module supports the standard DSI interface and that the cable is connected with the correct orientation, aligning the blue or marked side of the ribbon cable with the pin-1 indicator on both the Pi and the display connector.
