The 'ruggedized' version of the original minibend®
Product Description minibend® HR is a highly isolated, ruggedized version of the standard minibend. minibend® HR has RF shielding greater than 110db when tested IAW MIL-PRF-39012. minibend® HR is designed for use in complex, congested environments where higher cable retention force is required. minibend® HR's pull strength is more then 70% greater than standard minibend®. minibend® HR when installed and bent at the minimum bend radius will tolerate multiple 90° rotations at the cable/connector junction. The 'R' ruggedization can be added to any minibend®connector style. All materials used in minibend® HR assmblies meet or exceed NASA TML and CVCM requirements for use in spacecraft applications.

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®HR–6 assembly's were flexed 90° in a 0.25 inch radius directly behind the connector. In test two, minibend® HR–16 assembly's were flexed 180° with a 0.4 inch radius in the middle. Typical data is listed here:
