Bend Radius Tool

Bend Radius Tool

The Bend Radius Tool is a handy measuring device that fiber-optic cable installers can use to ensure they are complying with ANSI/TIA/EIA-568B-3, the Optical Fiber Cabling Components Standard.

Made of lightweight yet sturdy polycarbonate, the pocket-size tool doubles as a ruler.  The bend at the top helps technicials measure bend radius quickly to prevent excessive bending and meet performance specifications governing the minimum bend radius for fiber-optic cables of one-inch under no-pull load and two-inches when subject to tensile loading up to the rated limit. For inside plant cables other than two- and four-fiber, the standard specifies ten times the cable's outside diameter under no-pull load and fifteen times the cable's outside diameter when subject to tensile load.
