Littlebend Ultra‑Flexible RF Cable Assemblies

Bend at the root of the connector instead of buying a right‑angle adapter. Littlebend assemblies route through dense RF and mmWave builds — MIMO arrays, OTA test setups, switch matrices — and every assembly ships 100% tested for VSWR and insertion loss.

Ultra‑flexible · bends at the connector root

Littlebend ultra-flexible RF cable assembly bent at the connector root

HLB098 and HLB055 series assemblies bend vertically at the connector joint — a lower profile than a right‑angle adapter or swept connector.

Why Littlebend

Tight port spacing. Limited clearance. A better cable route.

LittleBend ultra-flexible RF cable assemblies give you routing flexibility in densely packaged RF and mmWave systems. Where a conventional cable requires a right-angle adapter, LittleBend can provide the change in direction through the cable itself, reducing adapter count and the space occupied by the connection. Choose configurations for in-box interconnects, board-to-board connections, switch matrices, and test fixtures, with selected assemblies operating through 110 GHz.

Small bend radius. More routing flexibility

Navigate closely spaced ports, enclosure walls, and nearby components with a cable path that fits your available space. Check the selected assembly's bend radius against your installed cable path.

Remove an adapter from the signal path

When LittleBend replaces a separate right-angle adapter, it also removes an additional mated interface. That means fewer components to accommodate, purchase, and assemble.

Verify electrical performance

Every LittleBend assembly is tested for VSWR and insertion loss against its specified limits before shipment. Standard configurations are listed online; custom lengths and connector combinations can be quoted.

Height comparison: Littlebend vertical bend versus a right-angle adapter stack

Same port, two ways: a Littlebend assembly bent at the root of the connector joint versus a right‑angle adapter stack.

⤺

Vertical‑bend connector design

The assembly bends at the root of the connector joint, navigating tight pathways in confined spaces.
