CABLES & CONNECTORS
Ultra-Flexible Cable Series
Introducing Littlebend ultra-flexible cable series by HASCO, Inc. These extremely flexible, triple shielded cables support a minimum bend radius of 0.20” and a high retention force of > 90 N eliminating the need for right-angle adapters. The Littlebend HLB098 cables are designed for demanding microwave interconnect applications and system designs requiring dense packaging. HASCO’s new Littlebend ultra-flexible cable series are 100 percent tested for VSWR and insertion loss and available in a variety of standard lengths.
