Extension cable for Raspberry Pi cameras

This one-metre flex cable replaces the stock 150 mm ribbon on classic or NoIR Raspberry Pi camera boards. It measures 1 metre by 16 mm by 0.2 mm and weighs 7.5 g. The Raspberry Pi and camera board are not included in the package.

Installing the replacement ribbon

Open the connector on the Pi carefully and slide the new cable in; the process is straightforward but requires gentle handling to avoid damaging the contacts. At 3.3 ft the longer run can pick up noise in electrically harsh environments, which may result in corrupted images.

Signal integrity limits of the CSI interface

The CSI protocol used by the camera is not designed for one-metre lengths, so image quality can degrade in noisy surroundings. Users who need reliable capture over longer distances should consider alternative connection methods rather than extending the flex cable further.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the 1 meter flex cable is seated correctly after installation?

After sliding the cable into the Pi's connector, check that the camera initialises without errors and captures stable images; if frames appear corrupted in a noisy environment, try a shorter cable.

What does the package contain and what must I source separately?

The box holds one 1 meter flex cable measuring 16 mm wide and 0.2 mm thick; you must supply your own Raspberry Pi board and Camera module.

Which length should I choose for a standard Pi Camera setup?

The 1 meter cable replaces the stock 150 mm flex and works with classic or NoIR cameras on Model B or B+, but 3.3 ft may introduce corruption in electrically noisy settings.
