Constant Flexing: The minimum radius of a bend measured to the assembly's centerline to maximize assembly life and to be used in motion calculations. Static Bend: The radius of a bend measured to the assembly's centerline to which an assembly may be bent for installation. The assembly should be subjected to no further motion other than vibration.
The smallest bend a cable can withstand before the transmission is affected.
The minimum radius of curvature in which a fiber can bend without breakage, other adverse mechanical effects, or increased attenuation beyond an acceptable threshold.
of a fluorocarbon tube, the distance from the center of an imaginary circle on which the arc of the bent tube falls to a point on that arc.
The radius of the arc formed by bending a cable. The most a cable can bend without damage or without adversely affecting its electrical characteristics. The general rule is that the bend radius must be no less than 10 times the outside diameter of the cable jacket. However, it also depends upon the materials that make up the cable.
Radius a fiber can bend before the risk of breakage or increase in attenuation.
The arc of the bend itself, usually taken at the centerline. The distance from the center of curvature to the center-line (axis) of the pipe, expressed as a number multiplied by the pipe or tube size. For example, the bend radius of a 5 x D bend for a 2-inch nominal pipe size (NPS) pipe or a 2-inch tube is 10 inches (see Center-Line Radius).
The radius of curvature that a wire or cable can bend without causing any damaging effects.
The minimum radius to which a cable can bend without damaging the cable.
The maximum amount fibre or cable that can be bent without causing damage. Also called minimum safe bending radius.
The radius of a pipe bend is the distance from the center of the bend radius to the centerline of the pipe. Example: Where D=diameter of the pipe, 1.5 radius bend in 12" pipe has an 18" bend radius.
The radius of curvature that an optical fiber can bend without sustaining damage. Learn more about Bend Radius...
The radius measured on the inside of a bend which corresponds to the curvature of a bent specimen or the bent area in a formed part.
Radius of curvature that a fiber optic or metallic cable can bend without any adverse effects.
The smallest radius an optical fiber or fiber cable can bend around before increased attenuation or breakage occurs.
The radius of curvature that fiber or copper can bend without breaking or causing excessive loss.
A measurement of a cable’s flexibility, it’s the radius of the smallest circle you can form with the cable without damaging it.
The minium radius around which fibre may be curved without the risk of permanent damage resulting in excessive attenuation or even breakage.
Radius of curvature that a fibre can bend without breaking.
The radius of curvature that an optical fiber cable can bend without causing harmful effects on the optical or mechanical performance of the cable.
The smallest radius an optical fiber or fiber cable can bend before excessive attenuation or breakage occurs. Bending a fiber less than the minimum recommended bend radius will shorten it's service life and cause excessive attenuation. Most fibers can tolerate a mnimum bend radius of 2".
The radius below which an optical fiber should not be bent. Usually bend radius is a function of tensile strength.
