Adafruit Flex Cable Raspberry Pi Camera 2 meters engineering development tool

SKU CH-YQ9P-D23N4

A 2-metre replacement flex cable for Raspberry Pi cameras, extending the standard 150mm connection for flexible mounting

  • Product typeEngineering Development Tools
  • Extends camera reach with a 2 metre flex cable
  • Replaces the stock 150mm ribbon for flexible mounting
  • Slim 0.2 mm profile fits tight enclosures
  • Light 15 g weight adds minimal load to the board
  • Compatible with classic and NoIR Pi Camera modules

Flexible Camera Extension Cable

This 2 metre flex cable replaces the standard 150mm ribbon on a Raspberry Pi Camera or NoIR module. It measures 16mm wide and 0.2mm thick, weighing 15g. The longer reach lets you position the camera board farther from the single-board computer. Only the cable is included in the pack.

Suited For Remote Mounting

Makers who need to place the camera module up to 6.6 ft away from the Pi will find this length practical. Builders working inside electrically noisy enclosures or close to strong EMI sources should look elsewhere because the extended ribbon can pick up interference that corrupts images.

Maximum Reliable Length

At 2 metres the cable reaches the practical limit of the Pi camera serial interface before signal degradation becomes likely. If your layout demands a longer run you will need an active extender or a different camera architecture.

Questions about this item

What are the dimensions of the 2-meter flex cable?

The cable measures 2 meters long by 16 mm wide and 0.2 mm thick, which is 6.6 feet by 0.6 inches by 0.01 inches.

How do I replace the stock 150 mm cable with this one?

Carefully lift the locking tab on the Pi's camera connector, remove the original flex, insert this cable with contacts facing the board, then close the tab to secure it.

Will I need to replace this cable if I use it near strong electrical noise?

At 2 meters the signal can degrade in noisy environments such as near a Tesla coil, so you may need a shorter cable to avoid corrupted images.
