This cable will let you swap out the stock 150mm long flex cable from a Raspberry Pi Camera (either ‘classic’ or ‘NoIR’ type) for a different size. Works great, just carefully open the connector on the Pi and slip this one in.

Can I use the 2m csi cable also with a DSI screen?

Hi Andrew,

Welcome to the forum!!

While the number of pins is identical between the CSI and DSI connectors the signal integrity _might_ be an issue.

There’s an interesting thread that I stumbled across on the RPi forums here: [Longer DSI ribbon - Raspberry Pi Forums](https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=120810)

I think the HDMI to DSI connector was used to try and stretch the max distance of the connection further.

Is there any reason you couldn’t use a HDMI display?
