It depends on the cable. 0 to 5000 volts the minimum bending radius is 6 x diameter of the cable. Above 5000 volts the minimum bending radius is 8 x the diameter of the cable.
4 times the diameter of the cable
For Unshielded cables, it will 8 multiplies cable diameter and for shielded cables, it is 12 multiplies the cable diameter. However, the smaller the bend radius, the greater is the material flexibility.RegardsKelechi
Bend radius significantly impacts cable performance by influencing signal integrity and mechanical durability. A tighter bend radius can lead to increased stress on the cable, potentially causing signal loss, attenuation, or even physical damage. Adhering to the manufacturer’s specified minimum bend radius helps ensure optimal performance and longevity of the cable. Proper management of bend radius is crucial in installations to maintain reliability and prevent failure.
The term "pipe bending radius 40D" refers to the minimum radius at which a pipe can be bent, where "D" represents the diameter of the pipe. Therefore, a 40D bend means the bending radius is 40 times the pipe's diameter. For example, if the pipe has a diameter of 2 inches, the minimum bending radius would be 80 inches. This specification helps ensure the integrity and performance of the pipe during bending, preventing kinks or damage.
To calculate a 1.5 bend radius, multiply the diameter of the pipe or conduit by 1.5. For example, if the pipe diameter is 2 inches, the bend radius would be 2 inches × 1.5 = 3 inches. This radius is often used in applications to ensure that bending does not compromise the integrity or flow capacity of the piping system. Make sure to consider the material and type of bend when applying this calculation.

The radius of the curve of the inner edge of the bends shall be at least 6 times the external diameter for armoured cable.

Four times the outer jacket diameter.
The minimum radius of a cable tray bend is governed by several factors, including the type and size of the cables being used, the manufacturer's specifications, and applicable industry standards. A bend that is too tight can damage the cables, leading to performance issues or failure. Typically, it's recommended to maintain a bend radius that is at least 1.5 to 2 times the outer diameter of the largest cable in the tray to ensure safe and effective installation. Additionally, local codes and regulations may also dictate specific requirements for bend radii.

The RADIUS of a 5D pipe bend is actually what is 5 times the nominal diameter. So if you had a 10" diameter pipe, the radius of the centerline of the bend would be 50 inches.
Typically, wires have a bend radius of 10 times the diameter of the wire. Measuring the inside. This is basically to prevent injury or changes in impedance at the bend. Also note that the tighter the bend can damage the insulation in coaxial or triaxial cables and cause lower dielectric strength between layers. Best to install cables where ripples don't form on the surface and moderate force is recommended. MIL-W-5088 has more information.
The term "pipe bending radius 40D" refers to the minimum radius at which a pipe can be bent, where "D" represents the diameter of the pipe. Therefore, a 40D bend means the bending radius is 40 times the pipe's diameter. For example, if the pipe has a diameter of 2 inches, the minimum bending radius would be 80 inches. This specification helps ensure the integrity and performance of the pipe during bending, preventing kinks or damage.
A 3D bend is a pipe bend that the bend radius is 3 times the pipe outside diameter.
