Adafruit CSI or DSI Cable Extender Thingy for Raspberry Pi

The Adafruit CSI/DSI Cable Extender connects two classic 15-pin flex cables with 1.0mm pitch end-to-end. This allows you to extend the cable connection for a Raspberry Pi Camera over CSI or a Raspberry Pi Display over DSI without having to handle the required pin rearrangement yourself.

Both flex cables plug directly into the FPC connectors with their contacts facing upwards. Adafruit tested the adapter with two 1m cables and successfully operated a camera and display, but notes that long CSI/DSI connections are not guaranteed and these interfaces are intended for considerably shorter cables. The adapter does not directly fit the narrower CSI connector on the Raspberry Pi Zero; a suitable adapter is required first.
