    From the DECconnect System Fiber Optic Planning and Configuration Guide
    (EK-DECSY-FP) page 11-24...
    
    BN24B FDDI-to-FDDI Patch Cables (continuation)
    
    Cable Minimum Bend Radius (inches) long term=1.5
    
    
    ...Sounds a bit liberal to me. I'd try not to exceed (inceed?) that
    radius even short term.  I always beleived it was 4in long, and 2in
    short until I got the surprise of looking it up.

313.2Minimum radius better than expected.UKCSSE::CAMPMon Jul 29 1991 06:146
    Thanks for the information and I agree that 1.5" does appear a bit
    small for the radius either long or short term, however if thats the
    specification.......
