Hello guys,
DOes anyone know where to find
a table of minimum bend radii for coaxial cables?
I have seen varying specs for RG-58, RG-57, etc,
so I don't know which is the best.
I need
to make absolutely the tightest bend I can get away
with becaise of cramming stuff into a small enclosure.
I also don't have the right test equipment to check
to see what harm I do with a too tight bend.
Any thoughts? Thanks.
Richard

The minimum bend radius for RG-58 is 1.2inches.
For RG-59 is 1.5 inches.
A rule of thumb
is 6 x cable diameter for RG-xx
Refer to
Wiremold Corp for their white paper.
