The radius of curvature is defined as the radius of the best-fitting sphere over the defined Fitting Area. This can be calculated using a least squares method to find the best radius.

For the optical fibre cable laying, we will need to use pulleys of the adequate size to meet the cable''s minimum radius of curvature. In addition, lubricant is added to the cable feeder and to any

Installers must understand these specifications and know how to install cables without damaging them. Bending of a fiber optic cable can damage the cable if the curvature of the bend is too small.
