5. Fiber Optic Cables|<br />
Bend Radius<br />
It is important not to change the geometry of the cable. Changing the geometry<br />
of the cable can negatively impact the transmission performance. Bend radius is<br />
the maximum arc into which a cable can be looped before its data transmission is<br />
impaired. The minimum bend radius for optical fiber cable is 10 times the diameter.<br />
Table 5.2 – Optical Fiber Bend Radius<br />
Fiber Type Bend Radius<br />
Small inside plant cable<br />
(2–4 fibers)<br />
1 in. (no load)<br />
2 in. (with load)<br />
All other inside plant cable 10 x diameter (no load)<br />
20 x diameter (with load)<br />
Outside plant cable 10 x diameter (no load)<br />
20 x diameter (with load)<br />
