The normal recommendation for fiber optic cable is the minimum bend radius under tension during pulling is 20 times the diameter of the cable (d). It is measured from the inside of the bend, not the outer curve. When bent too sharply, helical metal tapes can eparate.
DIN EN 50174-1:2020-10 (chapter 4. 3) both require that cables that do not meet the fire protection regulations or the requirements of Euroclass Eca may be routed freely within a building for a maximum of 2 m. The Fiber Optic Association, Inc. (FOA) was founded in 1995 to help develop the workforce to build the fiber optic networks to support a rapid expansion in communications and the Internet. This guide explores different types of fiber optic cable, including indoor fiber. Recommendations for Fiber Optic Cable Installation Where reels are supplied with protective material fitted over the cable, the protection should remain in place until the cable will be installed. During installation, all curvatures should be smooth. If this practice is acceptable to the AHJ, I'm thinking I'm OK. The key to this is make sure we understand "point of entrance per the NEC.
