Does this 100cm cable work with the Raspberry Pi Zero?

No, this 100cm 15-Pin FFC Ribbon Cable has a 1.0mm pitch, whereas the Raspberry Pi Zero uses a smaller 22-pin 0.5mm pitch connector, so you would need a specific adapter cable.

Is a 100cm ribbon cable too long and will it cause video lag?

No, the 100cm 15-Pin FFC Ribbon Cable maintains excellent signal integrity without causing video lag, though you should avoid routing it directly alongside high-voltage motors to prevent electromagnetic interference.

How do I correctly insert this 15-pin FFC cable into the Raspberry Pi?

To insert the 100cm 15-Pin FFC Ribbon Cable, gently lift the collar on the Pi's CSI port, insert the cable with the bare silver contacts facing the internal pins, and push the collar down to lock it.

Can I buy this 1-meter camera cable today at your Hong Kong store?

Yes, this 100cm 15-Pin FFC Ribbon Cable is regularly stocked at our Sun Cheong Computer Co. Ltd. physical store in Sham Shui Po for immediate purchase and pickup.

Can I fold this ribbon cable at a 90-degree angle to fit inside my 3D printer case?

You can gently curve the 100cm 15-Pin FFC Ribbon Cable to change its direction, but you must never fold it with a sharp, hard crease, as this will snap the internal copper wires.

Full Product Description

Extended 1-Meter Reach for Custom Camera Placements

This 100cm 15-Pin FFC Ribbon Cable extends your Raspberry Pi camera's reach by a full meter, allowing you to mount the lens far away from the main motherboard. Standard camera cables are often too short for complex DIY projects, forcing you to compromise on camera angles. With this 100cm extension, you can easily route the cable through robotic chassis, mount a surveillance camera high on a wall, or position an OctoPrint monitoring camera perfectly inside a large 3D printer enclosure.

Broad Compatibility with Standard Raspberry Pi Models

The 15-pin flexible flat cable is fully compatible with the standard CSI (Camera Serial Interface) ports on the Raspberry Pi 4B, 3B+, 3, 2, and B+. Utilizing the industry-standard 1.0mm pitch and Type A contact orientation, it provides a seamless, plug-and-play connection between the camera module and the host board. The durable AWM 20624 VW-1 rated jacket ensures the internal copper traces are protected against heat and physical abrasion during installation.

Pro Tip from Our Technicians

Always ensure the blue stiffener on the 100cm 15-Pin FFC Ribbon Cable faces the locking clip of the CSI connector, while the bare silver contacts face the pins inside the port. Our Sham Shui Po DIY specialists remind you that while this flexible flat cable can be bent to navigate around components, you must never fold it into a sharp 90-degree crease, as this will permanently break the microscopic copper traces inside and ruin the video signal.
