You'd be hard pressed to buy fiber that isn't bend insensitive anymore, so why do my OSP cables still have huge minimum bend radii?
5-10mm minimum bend radius on modern fiber. 16.9"(430mm) minimum bend radius on a 432F loose tube Corning ALTOS. If I used a vise to push that 432F into a hairpin turn, I'm sure it would crimp the jacket in a bad way, but it wouldn't hurt the signal. So what's the real limiting factor on the bending?
