Click "Calculate" to see the minimum bending radius and the recommended standard tray bend radius (300mm to 900mm) required for safe installation. Tray bend radius must be ≥ minimum cable bend radius. Use the largest cable diameter in the tray for calculation. Bending a cable too tightly can lead to insulation cracks, conductor. It's important to know how to calculate the bending radius of cable, as each cable has a minimum and maximum bend amount. If exceeded, the additional bend can impact performance, cause kinking and damaging, or shorten the life expectancy of the cable when installed.
