Product description
Display Cable (Adapter Cable) for Use with Raspberry Pi Displays and Raspberry Pi 5
The Raspberry Pi 5 is equipped with two MIPI connectors, each with four lanes, supporting both CSI (Camera Serial Interface) and DSI (Display Serial Interface).
Each MIPI connector on the Raspberry Pi 5 can be used for either a camera (CSI) or a display (DSI).
The MIPI connectors use a 22-pin "mini" FPC connector with a 0.5 mm pitch. To connect the Raspberry Pi Display and Display 2, which use the standard 15-pin FPC connector with a 1 mm pitch, an adapter cable is required.
There are two types of adapter cables available for Raspberry Pi:
- MIPI 22-pin to FPC 15-pin (DSI) - for connecting a display. Compatible only with Raspberry Pi 5.
- MIPI 22-pin to FPC 15-pin (CSI) - for connecting a camera. Compatible with Raspberry Pi 5 as well as Raspberry Pi Zero / Zero 2.
Current Raspberry Pi cameras and displays use the standard 15-pin FPC connector and are directly compatible with earlier Raspberry Pi models. However, to use them with the Raspberry Pi 5, an adapter cable is required.
Note: The camera cable cannot be used to connect a display, and the display cable cannot be used to connect a camera.
