A reliable project starts with quality connections. SunFounder offers a specialized selection of cables for Raspberry Pi designed to handle data and power efficiently:
○ Power Cables: Our durable Raspberry Pi power cables (USB-C and Micro-USB) feature thick copper cores to prevent voltage drop, often including convenient inline switches to power cycle your board without unplugging.
○ Video Cables: Experience 4K clarity with our Micro HDMI to HDMI cables specifically molded for the tight ports of the Raspberry Pi 4 and 5.
○ Internal Ribbons: Connect cameras and displays with our flexible flat cables (FFC), available in various lengths to fit your custom enclosure.
○ For Raspberry Pi 5 & 4: You need a USB-C power cable. Look for one rated for at least 3A (or 5A for Pi 5) to ensure your board doesn't suffer from "low voltage" warnings during heavy tasks.
○ For Raspberry Pi 3 & Zero: These models utilize a Micro-USB power cable. Our cables are designed to deliver a steady 2.5A current, superior to standard phone charging cables.
○ Why do I need a specialized power cable?
Generic USB cables often have thin wires that cause voltage to drop under load. A dedicated Raspberry Pi power cable ensures your board receives the full 5V it needs to run stable, preventing crashes.
○ Does the power cable support data transfer?
Yes, most of our USB-C and Micro-USB cables support both power delivery and high-speed data transfer, allowing you to program your Pi Zero via OTG or transfer files.
○ What is the difference between Micro HDMI and Mini HDMI?
Micro HDMI is used on Raspberry Pi 4 and 5, while Mini HDMI is used on the Raspberry Pi Zero series. We stock cables and adapters for both standards.
