    This technical guideline provides minimum bend radius recommendations for installing copper wire and cable. For outside plant copper cables, the minimum bend radius is 10-15 times the cable diameter depending on cable shielding. For premises copper cables, the minimum bend radius is 4-12 times the cable diameter depending on cable use and shielding. Following these bend radius guidelines helps prevent damage to copper cables during installation.

    Copper Wire and Cable Minimum Bend Radius

    Outside Plant Copper-Conductor Cable


    The recommended minimum bending radii for installation of outside plant copper
    cables are:

    • Cable diameter x 12 for single shield tape designs


    Examples: SEALPIC®, CUPIC®, GOPIC®, ANxA, BxxA, BxxG types
    • Cable diameter x 15 for dual shield tape designs
    Examples: CASPIC®, ANxW, KxxH, BxxH types
    • Cable diameter x 10 for designs without shields
    Examples: SANSPIC® types
    • Cable diameter x 15 for designs with flat shields bonded to the cable jacket D = cable diameter and R = bend radius
    Examples: CELFIL, Canadian ALPETH, SEALPAP

    Premises Copper-Conductor Cable


    The recommended minimum bending radii for installation of premises (indoor) copper cables are:

    • Cable diameter x 4 for horizontal cable without shield (small pair count: ≤ 6-pair)
    • Cable diameter x 8 for horizontal cable with shield (small pair count: ≤ 6-pair)
    • Cable diameter x 10 for backbone cable without shield (larger pair count: > 6-pair)
    • Cable diameter x 12 for backbone cable with shield (Riser cable – type ARxM)
