What is the Minimum Bending Radius for the cables?

To prevent internal wire fatigue, cables should not be bent too sharply.Static (Fixed): The minimum bending radius is typically 5x the cable outer diameter (OD).Dynamic (Moving): For applications where the cable moves (e.g., ROV tethers), the radius should be 10x – 15x the OD.

Violating the bending radius is a primary cause of intermittent signal loss.

L-Type Cables: For confined spaces where sharp bends are unavoidable, we recommend using our pre-molded Right-Angle (L-Type) series.
Stress: Bending a cable too tightly near the connector boot puts stress on the vulcanized bond, potentially causing it to peel away from the metal shell.
