Cable Joy-IT RB-CB2-30 30 cm for Raspberry Pi — GPIO/flat ribbon connection

Joy-IT RB-CB2-30 is a 30 cm flat ribbon connection cable designed for Raspberry Pi single-board computers. The cable provides a compact, flexible link for GPIO and peripheral connections between the Raspberry Pi and hats, expansion modules or breadboards. Its flat ribbon form factor helps keep wiring neat in confined enclosures and makes short-distance prototyping and module-to-board routing straightforward.

Advantages

The flat ribbon design reduces bulk and allows tidy cable routing in small enclosures. At 30 cm length the cable is short enough to avoid excess slack yet long enough for most stacked hat or nearby peripheral connections. The cable fits standard Raspberry Pi GPIO-style connectors and supports straightforward wiring for prototyping and expansion use. The construction provides a flexible, low-profile connection suitable for compact installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting Raspberry Pi GPIO pins to HATs and expansion boards
• Linking GPIO signals to breadboards for prototyping
• Compact installations and small enclosures where space is limited
• Short-distance peripheral connections and module stacking

Key specifications

• Cable type: flat ribbon-style cable
• Length: 30 cm
• Connector style: GPIO-compatible ribbon connector
• Flexibility: flexible, low-profile cable for tight spaces
• Use environment: intended for internal/prototyping connections (non-waterproof)

How to use

Align the ribbon connector with the Raspberry Pi GPIO header or matching header on the target board, ensuring correct pin orientation before insertion. Gently press the connector into the header until seated; avoid excessive force. When connecting to a breadboard or adapter, confirm pin mapping so signals correspond correctly to the intended pins. Route the cable to minimize stress on connectors and avoid sharp bends that could damage conductors.

Usage recommendations

Verify pin alignment before powering the system, and use the cable only for short internal connections. For permanent outdoor or high-vibration installations, consider more robust or shielded cabling and secure strain relief. Keep the cable away from heat sources and sharp edges to preserve insulation and flexibility.
