A1 FFCs - Flex Ribbon Extension Cable for Raspberry Pi Camera - Black 1m/3.28ft Long

I needed a longer flex cable to mount my Pi Camera on my 3D printer and this cable is more than long enough for this type of application.

So far so good. One week. Its out a window and working fine. I have read/heard that these cameras are very sensitive to static electricity. I would recommend being careful if you have that in your environment. I dont think these ribbon cables are very secure so Id recommend glue or tape to prevent it from getting partially pulled out if you accidentally yank on it. I think this might be a bigger problem for longer cables like this.

Ive ordered 2 of these at this point because I wanted a black cable for the connection between by Pi and the Pi cam. The picre shows what the camera shows when the cable breaks, it flashes a pink filter over the image every half second or so. The first one broke just inside of the return window on Amaon, so I returned it. The second one just broke after 3 months. I am using these with my 3d printer, so it gets set up and then left alone, so the cable shouldnt be breaking. I am very disapointed that this cable breaks when stationary.

Not sure what happened here, but now my camera will not work, so it either shorted and ruined my camera or shorted the port on my raspberry pi. Either one the old cable does not even work now...

Nice and long 3 is more than enough. ships within a piece of PVC pipe, almost indestructible packaging for shipping.

The ribbon fits and works perfect. it is pretty glossy finish. The packing was a slice of thick PVC pipe cut just slightly thicker than the ribbon is wide. This keeps them protected every step of the way to you and gives a nice way to store the extras from the pack of five.

Much more discrete than the standard grey cable

Needed a longer ribbon to get from my Pi to the top of my 3D printer. This worked!

I needed a bunch of long cables to tether cameras to Raspberry Pis for 3D printer monitoring. I tend to have a fair distance between the Pi and the cam, so these longer cables work well for that. The price is reasonable and the black cables aesthetically match the setup. No complaints save that the package is not really reusable so I have all the extras that I havent used yet refusing to be neatly stored away.

Havent installed yet. Looks fine
