Bend Radius of Cables
If you bend a coaxial cable sharper than the recommended minimum bend
radius, you may decrease the reliability of the link.
Plan your trunkline cable routing so that the cable will have no sharper
bend than a minimum 6-inch bend radius (Figure 3.7).

Plan your dropline cable routing so that the cable will have no sharper
bend than a minimum 3-inch bend radius (Figure 3.8).
