The Raspberry Pi 5 Display Cable 22Pin to 15Pin is a high-quality flexible flat cable (FFC) engineered to bridge the connectivity gap between the Raspberry Pi 5 and compatible 15-pin MIPI DSI display modules. Since the Raspberry Pi 5 features updated 22-pin MIPI CSI/DSI connectors while many existing display modules use the traditional 15-pin interface, this adapter cable provides a seamless solution for maintaining compatibility with your existing hardware.
Available in three convenient lengths (200mm, 300mm, and 500mm), this display cable offers the flexibility you need for various project configurations, whether you’re building a compact enclosure, a desktop display system, or an embedded application with specific spacing requirements. The durable flexible construction ensures stable high-speed signal transmission for crisp, reliable display communication.
Ideal for Raspberry Pi enthusiasts, makers, educators, and developers working on touchscreen interfaces, embedded display systems, robotics projects, interactive kiosks, and industrial automation applications.
