The Raspberry Pi Camera Cable Standard – Mini is a low-cost adapter cable designed specifically to connect standard Raspberry Pi camera modules to the Raspberry Pi 5’s mini MIPI camera connectors. Priced at $2.71, it bridges the newer 22-way, 0.5mm-pitch “mini” FPC connectors on Raspberry Pi 5 to the traditional 15-way, 1mm-pitch “standard” camera connectors used by most Raspberry Pi camera boards.

This cable is ideal if you already own a Raspberry Pi camera (such as Camera Module 3 or earlier) and want to use it with a Raspberry Pi 5 without buying a new camera. Available in three lengths (200mm, 300mm, 500mm), it gives you flexibility in how and where you mount your camera in enclosures, robots, or custom rigs. It is purpose-designed for camera modules only and should not be used for displays (and display cables should not be used for cameras), helping ensure signal integrity and reliable image data transfer.

Whether you’re building a photography rig, vision-based robot, or home security setup, this cable provides a stable, dedicated link between your Raspberry Pi 5 and camera module, making it an essential accessory for camera-based Raspberry Pi 5 projects.
