Contrary to a common misconception, light does not always travel in a straight line; it can be bent or refracted depending on the medium and external forces. In the context of fiber optic cabling, it is crucial to maintain an appropriate bend radius to ensure optimal signal integrity. While it may seem counterintuitive, it is possible to achieve almost 90-degree bends without signal loss by employing a gradual sweeping curve over a length of approximately 60 inches (or about 1.5 meters).
If you are not pre-fabricating your conduits prior to installation, you are likely incurring additional costs that could be a disservice to your client. As a time-saving measure, consider creating your own pre-fabricated spacers rather than relying on the ones that come standard with conduit systems; our experience suggests that custom spacers often provide better results.
The spacers below are garbage, don’t use them!
