DESCRIPTION

Every time someone posts on the Adafruit forums and says they need to have a

really long cable for their Pi Camera (CSI) or Pi Display (DSI), we say, "Oh you

mean like some sort of CSI/DSI cable extender thingy? Yeah we don't have one

of those in stock yet" But that time is over! Now we can say, "Yes we have

a CSI/DSI Cable Extender Thingy in stock!" And we point them here.

This Thingy is very simple, it lets you connect two 15-pin 1.0mm pitch cables

end-to-end and extend the length. It does the funky pin rearranging and all for

you, so just snap those two cables in. Carefully pry the two ears of the

connectors, plug the cables with contacts pointing up, and then push the ears

back in for a solid connection.

In

theory, the CSI/DSI interface isn't meant for super long cables, and you're

not

supposed to extend them. But we laugh in the face of theory. We connected

two 1 meter long extension cables using this Thingy and our Display and

Camera worked! But, just so you know, it's really not guaranteed: CSI/DSI are

meant for maybe 25cm max length.

For use with classic 15-pin 1.0mm pitch flex cables, does not fit the Pi Zero's

skinny CSI connector. For that you'll need to use an adapter first!
