Japanese translation:柔軟性
Explanation:
I found a very similar phrase in the description of a switch that comes with a cable prewired. Flex in this context is likely to mean flexibility in a cold temperature.

A definition of cold flex temperature:
The lowest temperature at which the test strip can be twisted through a 200 degree arc without breaking.

The cable can sustain a low temperature down to -10 C and you can still bend the cable. If you do not bend the cable, it can sustain a still lower temperature down to -30 C.

今回のflexをどう日本語に訳すべきかは分かりません。flexを柔軟性維持、no flexを柔軟性喪失としておけば意味は通じるような気はしますが・・・。
