The min bend radius isn’t that large in my experience. On the order of 10cm IIRC, possibly even less.

- st_goliath 10mo agoMuch smaller than that, some might even say a utility box is overkill: https://old.reddit.com/r/techsupportgore/comments/nvwcuh/the_fiber_line_coming_into_my_village_in_korea/ https://old.reddit.com/r/techsupportgore/comments/nvwcuh/the...
- Lukas_Skywalker 10mo agoEven less is correct: outdoor fibers (G.652.D) have a minimum bend radius of about 30mm. The indoor counterpart (G.657.A1 and A2) have 10mm and 7.5mm.
- lesuorac 10mo agoThose are more of a technically no? Like I have fiber to the house and you really need to pinch it and whatnot to cause an internet outage.
- oarsinsync 10mo agoA small bend radius means it can have a tight bend. A large bend radius means it has to be a big bend. A 7.5mm bend radius is really small. You can bend that stuff pretty tight before you create a problem.
- eqvinox 10mo agoThe larger cables tend to have strength members with higher physical bend radius restrictions, i.e. you can't bend the steel or kevlar elements that tightly without breaking things.
