Sensor Extension Cable
General Introduction
After the release of the Raspberry Pi V2 camera, we designed a unique camera extension cable (B0186) to meet the requirement for camera extension. The extension cable can extend the working distance of the camera and ensure signal transmission.
Info
With the release of the latest Raspberry Pi V3 camera module, we specially made a new Sensor Extension Cable adapt to the V3 extension solution.
You just need to remove the connector and reconnect the camera board and the connector with an extension cable. There is no need to install an additional driver.
Meanwhile, these cable are not only compatible with Raspberry Pi V2/V3 cameras but can work directly with Arducam IMX219 cameras. As for platform compatibility, you can also use this cable with IMX219 Camera on Nvidia Jetson Nano.
