Raspberry Pi Cameras are awesome to play around with, and there are so many different types of cameras available, from standard high definition cameras to specialised IR-Cut cameras that can see in the dark. The possibilities for integrating them into projects is almost endless. But in a twist of fate, the newest fast Raspberry Pi 5 boards have two new four-lane MIPI connectors that will not fit the standard cables in most Pi cameras or a display. The ability to install either cameras or displays into MIPI is great for the upgrade in functionality but also means you’ll need an adapter cable to install your awesome Pi camera modules.
This 50cm FPC Raspberry Pi Camera Cable is designed for Raspberry Pi 5 boards to connect seamlessly to your Pi Cameras. These official Pi 5 Camera Cables use the 22-way 0.5mm pitch mini FPC format, which is a break away from the standard 15-way 1mm pitch format on current Pi cameras and displays. So, this useful flexible cable is the drop in adapter for you to continue using your favourite cameras with your new speedy Raspberry Pi 5.
So, whether you’re looking for a replacement Pi Camera FPC cable or just eager to get a spare to make sure you’re never out of cables if yours breaks, this Raspberry Pi Camera Cable is a convenient and affordable option.

The primary aim of The Raspberry Pi Foundation is to enable people from all walks of life to understand, learn and develop our digital world with ideas that actually matter to them. Their single-board computers are designed with an open-source style, while being both easy to use and versatile. This allows people to build their own systems to cater to unique problems within their environment, while allowing them to share with and learn from others who are building similar types of systems – growing and developing the open-source movement in every step of the way.
The Raspberry Pi Foundation also takes their initiative a step further by building accessories like cameras, control interfaces and other products that can be seamlessly integrated into projects, made with high quality components but without the unnecessary frills that many brands choose to add on for “extra value”. This “no frills” approach makes their products more affordable while catering to consumers throughout the world, regardless of their financial condition. In doing so, people in almost any situation can use these products to improve their lives, better the world around them, and help develop both their local communities, as well as online communities of Makers.
Finally, like the cherry (or perhaps raspberry) on top of an already-great Sundae, The Raspberry Pi Foundation utilises the profits that they make to sponsor and host outreach and education efforts, with the intent to help people by making computing and digital development more accessible. They train educators and offer free resources online for people to learn from, giving consumers the power to change the world around them, and ultimately do their small part in developing the ever-expanding digital world too.
