THine Introduces Plug and Play Cable Extension Kit for Raspberry Pi Cameras

The Kit allows Raspberry Pi users to locate a Raspberry Pi Camera up to 20 meters away from a Raspberry Pi Computer.

[TOKYO, Mar. 11. 2021 / SANTA CLARA, CA, Mar. 10, 2021] THine Electronics, Inc. (Tokyo Stock Exchange/JASDAQ: 6769) and its fully owned USA subsidiary, THine Solutions, Inc., the leaders in high-speed serial interfaces and image signal processing, today introduced a plug and play kit for Raspberry Pi systems to enable extending the distance up to 20 meters between a Raspberry Pi camera and a Raspberry Pi single board computer (SBC) with a low-cost LAN cable.

This kit frees up designers from being restricted to the short 15-20 cm distance provided by the Flat Flexible Cable (FFC) shipped with the Raspberry Pi Camera Modules. The Kit allows the Raspberry Pi camera to work up to 20 meters away from the SBC  with the exact same performance as if  connected close to the SBC through the FFC.

This new kit is based on THine’s V-by-One® HS Serializer-Deserializer technology. V-by-One® HS was developed by THine to support up to 4 Gbps per lane and is robust enough to extend the transmission of 1080p60 2Mpixel uncompressed video for greater than 15 meters with specified cables.
