Selecting and Connecting your FPC Cable

Choose cable

Set up the hardware

Install drivers

1. Choosing the right cable

MIPI CSI-2 interfaces vary depending on the processor board. 22-pin connections are common, but there are also 15-pin and 24-pin variants. VC offers the right FPC cables for any platform.

 

2. Setting up the hardware

The plugless cable is connected to both the camera and the processor board.


3. Installing the drivers

Adapted basic drivers are already available for many boards. We support you with the adaptation for new processor boards.

Applications for FPC Cables

FPC cables are robust, compact, and enable high data rates. This makes them ideal for data transmission in professional and industrial applications. For technical reasons, FPC cables for MIPI CSI-2 are limited to a maximum length of 20 cm.

Smart Devices

FPC cables connect cameras and processor units in smart devices flexibly and reliably. 

Industry & Robotics

FPC cables are also used in inspection systems, robots, AMRs, and automation.

Medical Technology & Laboratory Equipment

With their compact design and high reliability, FPC cables are also suitable for medical technology. 

Handheld Devices & Mobile Applications

Barcode scanners, mobile diagnostic devices, and handhelds use flat cables for camera connections

Frequently Asked Questions about MIPI FPC Cables

MIPI camera module - Smiley

The maximum transfer speed of MIPI CSI-2 depends on the number of data lanes and the processing speed of the embedded processor. With four lanes and a processing speed of 1.5 GBit/s per lane, which can be achieved by most processors, transfer rates of 6 GBit/s are possible. With an 8-bit pixel resolution, this corresponds to 750 MB per second.

VC MIPI® FPC Cables can be used in a temperature range from -20°C to +85°C. They have a bending radius of at least 10 mm; permissible from at least 5 mm distance from the stiffener at the cable ends.

The MIPI interface is not standardized, which is why MIPI cables are available with different connectors.

 

The MIPI CSI-2 interface connection is not standardized, which is why there are MIPI cables with different connectors. MIPI CSI-2 is a standardized protocol for data transfer between cameras and processors. Most common processors support the interface, but some embedded processor boards use different connectors. They differ in the number of transmission lanes and cable pins used. VC offers suitable MIPI camera cables for all processor platforms and boards.

Vision Components offers special repeater boards to enable MIPI camera cables longer than 20 cm. Alternatively, micro-coax cables can be used.
