Adafruit Flex Cable for Raspberry Pi Camera or Display 50mm

SKU CH-62CC-AYDMK

A 50 mm flex cable that replaces the standard 150 mm Raspberry Pi Camera ribbon for tighter builds

  • Product typeEngineering Development Tools
  • Shorter 50mm cable reduces clutter inside tight enclosures
  • Replaces the standard 150mm flex cable for a neater fit
  • Compatible with classic and NoIR Raspberry Pi Camera boards
  • Lightweight 2g flex adds minimal mass to moving parts
  • Single 50mm cable supplied ready for immediate installation

Short flex cable for Raspberry Pi camera

This 50 mm flex cable replaces the stock 150 mm ribbon on a Raspberry Pi Camera or NoIR board. It connects directly to the CSI connector on the Pi after opening the latch. Each order supplies a single cable; the camera board and Raspberry Pi are not included.

Compact 50 mm length reduces cable routing bulk

At 50 mm long and 16 mm wide the ribbon fits tight enclosures where the standard 150 mm cable would bunch or obstruct other components. The thin profile adds negligible weight and requires no additional power or cooling considerations.

Reliable signal integrity under continuous operation

The flexible printed circuit maintains stable camera data transmission during extended recording or streaming sessions. No active components are present so thermal output and noise remain absent regardless of workload duration.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 50mm flex cable and what step do people often get wrong?

Open the Pi's connector latch gently, insert the cable with contacts facing the board, then close the latch. The common mistake is forcing the cable in before the latch is fully open.

What maintenance or replacement will this 50mm cable need later?

The cable itself has no moving parts and requires no scheduled maintenance. Replace it only if the flex creases, the contacts corrode, or the connector latch on the Pi breaks.

What limit appears first when the 50mm cable is used continuously?

The 50mm length fixes the camera 50mm from the board; signal integrity is not a concern at this distance, so the first limit is mechanical — repeated flexing can fatigue the copper traces.
