Bending or twisting an optical cable can cause signal loss, cable loss, and potential data errors or transmission failure. Micro-bending occurs when the fiber is bent at a small radius, typically less than a few millimeters. Damage to the cable itself, such as twisting or crushing, can cause the core or cladding of the cable to fracture, damaging the light- carrying ability of the fiber. Crushing pressure – Tight ties or heavy equipment deform the jacket and cladding. They are both delivered in a coil or on a reel.
