Flex Ribbon Cable for Raspberry Pi Camera - Black 30 cm / 11.8 inch

I ordered several of these for the Raspberry Pi cameras I have set up for Octoprint on my 3d printers. These cables are perfect - seem to be durable - and the black color goes well with my printers....all of which are black.

These cables look nice and are the correct length for my application. Unfortunately, both cables I received "accepted" a lot of RF interference, and there are visible artifacts in the images.I used both cables on two different printers, cameras and computers and had the same issue. Switching back to the white cables that shipped with the cameras as well as using a spare 2m cable I had laying around proved that the issue is with the cables and not the cameras, printers or computers.The wires do not pass any high voltage lines (power in or out, power to the bed, hotend or fans), so I covered the normal "you installed it like an idiot" bases. Routing the cables differently in the case had some effect, but I was never able to completely rid the images of interference artifacts.

This PI Cam cable worked well and had a good price. What was equally impressive was the packaging! The cable was spooled on itself and then placed inside of a short piece of PVC pipe. This kept the cable spooled up and protected it from any shipping damage that might have occured in the padded envelope in which it was sent! Great idea and this extra packing step got the product to me without in great shape!!

Raspberry Pi camera flex-circuit ribbon cable and it arrived rolled up in a slice of PVC pipe! Fantastic idea and almost indestructible packaging!The black color looks nice on my Ender 3. :)

Works great for a “stealth” black look. Looks like it’s made well and it works just fine. The contacts look solid. Long enough for more mounting options. Not much else to say, it does what it says.

Had to find a longer camera flex cable for a Pi project, ended up using this cable and it worked perfectly. The packaging of using PVC pipe to protect the cable was smart to prevent shipping damage. As far as durability, used this cable for an outdoor Pi project and it handled freezing temps.

Well the only reason for 4 vs. 5 stars is that the ends are not well reinforced so when punishing the ends into their slots, it is easy to kink/bend the ribbon cable and I could only imagine if done hard enough can cause failure. If they would have a bit more reinforcement, it would have given it 5 hands down, the color and length and even the quality is top notch.Thanks!

I bought this to give me the freedom to reposition my Raspberry Pi camera on my 3d printer. I had to bend it over a few times to make it neat, and even unbent and re-bent it another way when I repositioned. The cable still works flawlessly!I love the packaging, it comes rolled up on the inside of a section of PVC pipe that is then shrink-wrapped. A very cleaver way to protect the cable during shipping!
