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 flat flexible cable or connector style often used where space is tight. It matters because this breakout needs the correct pin count and pitch FPC cable to connect reliably to the display or high-speed interface.
