The Adafruit CSI/DSI Cable Extender Thingy lets you connect two 15-pin 1.0mm pitch flex cables end-to-end, extending the cable length for your Raspberry Pi Camera (CSI) or Display (DSI) connection. It handles all the pin rearranging automatically — just snap in two cables and go.

Key Features

  • 15-pin End-to-End Extension – Connects two 1.0mm pitch FPC cables to extend total length
  • Bi-Directional – Works for both CSI (camera) and DSI (display) connections
  • Automatic Pin Rearranging – No manual wiring needed
  • Simple Clip-In Connection – Pry connector ears, insert cable contacts facing up, push ears back

Also Available

Note: CSI/DSI interfaces are designed for short cable runs (approximately 25cm). Longer extensions may work but are not guaranteed. This extender is for 15-pin 1.0mm pitch cables only — it does not fit the Pi Zero's 22-pin 0.5mm connector directly. FPC cables are not included.

Ideal For

  • Extending Pi Camera cable length for enclosure or mounting projects
  • Remote-mounting DSI displays away from the Pi

Package Contents

  • 1× Adafruit CSI/DSI Cable Extender Thingy

Jargon buster

Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.

DSI
DSI stands for Display Serial Interface, a high-speed connection commonly used to send video data from a computer board to a display. It matters because DSI signals are not simple GPIO wires, so the cable, connector, and signal routing need to match the display interface.
FPC
FPC stands for flexible printed circuit, a thin flat flexible cable or connector style often used where space is tight or some movement is needed, commonly for displays, cameras and other high-density connections. Connecting to an FPC connector generally needs a matching cable with the correct pin count, pitch and contact orientation.
