How to Determine Bending Radius

From Multi/Cable Corporation
 

 
How to Determine Bending Radius: Our customers occasionally ask us: "How tight can I get away with bending this cable?" when installing wire and cable in trays with curves, in ducts, around building corners or around sheaves. Bending radius information provided by the NEC (National Electric Code) and the Insulated
Products & Services
Multiconductor cables contain two or more conductors, each of which consists of a single wire or combination of wires. Cable shielding is placed around an insulated conductor or group of conductors to prevent electrostatic or electromagnetic interference between the enclosed wires and external fields.

Hookup wires are used in low current, low voltage (under 1000 V) applications within enclosed electronic equipment. They are also used in control panels, meters, computers, business machines, and appliances. Search by Specification | Learn more about Hookup Wires
Power cables are solid or stranded conductors surrounded by insulation, shielding, and a protective jacket.  These cables are designed for high voltages (>600 V). Search by Specification | Learn more about Power Cables
