bend radius The radius of the bend in a wire, fiber, or cable. Too severe a bend will cause a crimp, crack, or break in a wire or fiber, in the shielding or insulation surrounding it or the cable in which it resides, or otherwise will compromise the integrity of the physical medium or cabling system. Some specifications state bend tolerance in terms of the bend diameter, which is twice the bend radius. See also bend diameter. 74570c02.qxd 9/11/07 12:18 PM Page 59 |
