Fiber Optic Bend Radius Calculator . Feel free to download the table reference for your use. Bend radius, which is measured to the inside curvature, is the minimum radius one can bend a pipe, tube, sheet, cable or hose without kinking it, damaging it, or shortening its life. (PDF) A Temperature Sensor Based on a Polymer Optical Fiber MacroBend from www.researchgate.net When the manufacturer has failed to do this, you can go by this general rule of thumb: In absence of manufacturer stated rules, the generic guidance is four times (4x) the cable jacket diameter for u/utp ethernet cable or eight times (8x) for f/utp (and sf/ftp) solid copper structure cable. The manufacturer should specify the minimum radius that your cable may safely be bent.
