Arducam for Raspberry Pi Zero Camera Cable Set, 1.5" 2.87" 5.9" Ribbon Flex Extension Cables for Pi Zero&W, Pack of 3
Quick take
This Arducam Pi camera ribbon flex cable set includes three different lengths (1.5", 2.87", and 5.9") to help you route a Raspberry Pi camera module in tighter enclosures. It is designed for Raspberry Pi Zero and Raspberry Pi 5 camera port needs, and it can also be used with Arducam’s MIPI camera lineup, but it is not for DSI display cables.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Three practical extension lengths, 38mm, 73mm, and 150mm, for different mounting distances
- CSI ribbon flex adapter design targets Raspberry Pi Zero and Raspberry Pi 5 camera port compatibility
- Works as expected for buyers using a variety of Pi camera setups, including Pi 5 camera port sizing differences
- Fits into the official Raspberry Pi Zero case for shorter routing (38mm length)
Cons
- Not usable as a DSI display cable (so it will not replace display ribbon cables)
- Only relevant if you specifically need CSI/ribbon flex extension between the camera connector types
What buyers think
Buyer-review evidence is limited but consistent on the essentials: these cables are reported to fit correctly and function right away with Raspberry Pi camera use cases. Several shoppers highlight the value of having multiple lengths for different projects and mounting positions, and others specifically mention compatibility with Raspberry Pi 5 camera port differences. Mentions of build quality are generally positive, with cables described as working reliably in real setups.
What this cable set is for
Raspberry Pi camera modules use a CSI connection that is typically routed with a small ribbon flex cable. This 3-pack is meant to extend or adapt that connection for Raspberry Pi Zero and Raspberry Pi 5 camera port needs, and it is also compatible with Arducam MIPI camera series for Raspberry Pi.
You get three lengths so you can choose the shortest run that still allows easy routing, or use a longer cable when your camera needs to mount farther from the main board (for example, inside a housing, on a printer, or in a security device enclosure).
Key specs that affect compatibility
- Connector pair: 22-pin to 15-pin CSI-style ribbon flex cable (one end uses a 15-pin 1.0mm pitch interface, the other uses a 22-pin 0.5mm interface)
- Lengths included: 1.5" (38mm), 2.87" (73mm), 5.9" (150mm)
- Use case: Raspberry Pi camera projects (including home security and other camera builds)
Pros and cons in real-world use
When it is a good match
- You are building a Raspberry Pi Zero or Raspberry Pi 5 camera project and need the right ribbon flex extension format
- You want multiple cable lengths so you can route cleanly without over-bending or running a cable that is too long
- Your setup benefits from shorter routing, such as fitting a 38mm length inside the official Pi Zero case
When you might want to look elsewhere
- You need a DSI display ribbon cable instead. This set is explicitly not for DSI display use
- You already have the correct cable length and connector type, and this is only adding redundancy
Price and availability
Pricing varies over time, and this item is listed as available in the United States. Check the current price before you commit, especially if you only need a single length.
Verdict: should you buy it?
Buy this Arducam Pi camera ribbon flex set if you are working on a Raspberry Pi Zero or Raspberry Pi 5 camera build and want the convenience of three extension lengths in one pack. It is best for makers who need flexible routing options, including projects that place the camera at different distances from the main board. Skip it if you are looking for a DSI display cable, or if you already have a perfectly matching camera ribbon setup.
