What does BR stand for?

Different cables can be compared in terms of their highest operating frequency, outside diameter, insertion loss (usually presented in terms of a value per 100 feet of cable), velocity of propagation (the speed of RF signals through a cable relative to their speed in a vacuum), power-handling capability, VSWR (with connectors), shielding effectiveness (SE), and minimum bend radius (for flexible cables).

The company said that Quadwire, a 40Gb/s optical link for data centres and high-performance computer clusters, features a parallel 4x10Gb/s optical bi-directional link, meeting the needs for increased data rates in longer lengths (up to 100m), while offering a lightweight solution and small bend radius.

:: Never bend over its minimum bend radius Just like fiber optic cable, fiber duct and innerduct also have a minimum bend radius spec.

A smaller diameter and minimum bend radius, combined with low dielectric constant materials, allows more signal lines per area.

There is also a halogen-free version - the Olflex-Servo-FD 755P, which has a very small bend radius, of just five times the outer diameter, and is flexible down to temperatures of 30[degrees]C, they tell us.

The springback is generally the same in both rolling directions; it is the resultant bend radius that is different, causing a change in bend angle.

The reduced bend radius and smaller diameter of GORE[TM] Low-Profile Cable allows for more aggressive routing as well as cleaner dressing of the cables in high-performance computing (HPC) environments.

Multiple accessories maintain cable geometries and minimum bend radius requirements around corners and as cables enter or exit the pathways.
