Bend insensitive fiber doesn't attenuate much from bending....but it
doesn't protect it from being broken. Apparently there's a reflective
layer between the core and the cladding.
Corning only makes bend insensitive now....so pretty soon you'll be
getting it whether you ask for it or not.

We (N1 Networks) just got a shipment of G.657b3 bend insensitive
cables. You can bend and smash the heck out of these and they will
only give you negligible loss. Technically they are rated to 5mm bend
radius, but they actually do much better than that. As long as you
have room that the connector seating into the transceiver or bulkhead
connector isn't compromised, these will work. I'll send you a price
list via direct email as we don't have them on our website yet.

I would think that bending losses would be greater than some would

*Subject:* [AFMUG] 90 degree LC fiber connector
Does anyone know of a nearly perfect 90 degree LC fiber connector?
I've seen the ones that bend over an inch or so but I'm looking
for something that is nearly a perfect 90 degree angle do to the
confined space of the cabinet. Anyone know of such a thing?
