Generally, when installing UTP unshielded network cables, the bending radius should not be less than 8 times the outer diameter of the cable, and the bending radius after installation should not be less than 4 times the outer diameter of the cable. When installing FTP shielded network cables, the bending radius should not be less than 10 times the outer diameter of the cable. The bending radius after installation shall not be less than 5 times the outer diameter of the cable.
If the bending radius is too small, the core wires of the cable will be severely squeezed, causing obvious deformation or even damage to the outer sheath of the cable product, ultimately resulting in an overall decrease in transmission performance. For the turning parts of the cable trough, 90-degree bends should be avoided. Especially in the vertical position.
