Bend Radius｜Glossary
This section is part of the Coaxial Cable Glossary for RF and coaxial systems.
What Is Bend Radius?
Bend radius refers to the minimum radius a cable can be bent without affecting its performance or causing damage.
It is an important specification for maintaining signal integrity and preventing mechanical stress on the cable.
Bending a cable below its specified bend radius may result in signal degradation, deformation, or cable failure.
Bend Radius in RF and Coaxial Systems
In RF and coaxial systems, maintaining the correct bend radius is essential for stable signal transmission.
Excessive bending may change cable impedance and increase signal loss.
Proper cable routing and installation help preserve cable performance and extend service life.
