Official Raspberry Pi 5 Camera FPC Cable 500mm – 22 Pin to 15 Pin CSI Adapter

Official Raspberry Pi 5 Camera FPC Cable – 500mm (22 Pin to 15 Pin)

The Official Raspberry Pi 5 Camera FPC Cable – 500mm is a flexible camera adapter cable designed to connect compatible Raspberry Pi camera modules to the Raspberry Pi 5 single-board computer. Featuring a 22-pin, 0.5mm-pitch connector on the Raspberry Pi 5 side and a 15-pin, 1.0mm-pitch connector on the camera side, it provides a convenient connection between the Raspberry Pi 5's compact MIPI CSI interface and supported camera modules.

The Raspberry Pi 5 features two 22-pin MIPI camera/display connectors, whereas many Raspberry Pi camera modules use a standard 15-pin connector. This adapter cable enables the connection of compatible camera modules without soldering or additional converter boards.

With a 500mm (50cm) cable length, it provides extended routing flexibility for projects where the camera needs to be positioned away from the Raspberry Pi board.

The cable is designed for MIPI CSI camera connections and is suitable for Raspberry Pi photography, video streaming, robotics, computer vision, surveillance prototypes, and embedded imaging applications.

Its lightweight, flexible FPC construction makes it ideal for custom enclosures, camera mounts, and compact electronics projects.
