Guidelines for cabling

Guidelines for the minimum bend radius of the cable
Bend radius is defined as the minimum radius to which the cable may safely be bent during installation
without the risk of permanent damage resulting in excessive attenuation or even breakage.
Use the manufacturer guidelines for the minimum bend radius of a cable. If manufacturer guidelines have
not been provided, use the general guidelines provided in the following table.
CAUTION: Bending optical cables tightly can damage the internal fibers, causing signal loss,
reduced reliability, and performance problems.
IMPORTANT: Minimum bend radius is not the same as minimum bend diameter.
