Phase Versus Flexure Reference Data

Astrolab performed phase tests on hundreds of minibend cable assemblies. Following are two standard Astrolab tests with the corresponding data. In test one minibend® S-6 assembly's were flexed 90° in a 0.25 inch radius directly behind the connector. In test two, minibend® S-16 assemblies were flexed 180° with a 0.4 inch radius in the middle. Typical data is recorded here:
