The fiber optic 90-degree bend refers to the minimum radius required when cables must change direction at right angles. Similar to how a garden hose restricts water flow when kinked, fiber optic cables experience performance degradation or complete signal loss when bent too sharply. Yes, fiber cables can be bent during installation, which proves particularly useful when you pull cables into position rather than using blown installation methods.
