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

Havent installed yet. Looks fine

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

This is more rugged and the conductive end connectors are more robust than what came with my camera. I also prefer the flat black color to the white that came with the camera.

I used this to connect my RPi camera to my RPi 4. Its black so it matched my Ender 3 wonderfully! No issues with connection or quality.

Shipped in a piece of pipe so that it was not crushed in shipping. Smart thinking.

This cable should work for regular overall needs. Currently, I am using it for my camera setup for octoprint on a Pi4 at 60fps 1080x1920 for the camera to automatically detect issues with the printer. The cable is a bit big on the connection side, with a deviation of +.003, so although snug, it does fit rather well for my application.

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...

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.

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.

The length of the cable and its flexibility were necessitated in the creation of my Photo-booth. The cable had to thread from the Raspberry Pi up through the top of the cabinet and into the bellows camera. The cable works flawlessly and enables me to get some great shots of folks at parties and family get togethers.
