Angled Toslink Cables ... How?

I've seen Toslink cables on Amazon etc with angled connectors, as well as angled adapters. I've been told that optical cables are prone to bending damage so they don't make sense to me. Does anyone know how they are able to bend the fiber so sharply?

There is most likely a small prism in the right angle moulding

Yes, it’s basically a prism with another very short length <edit>  of fibre  </edit>  in the offset portion of the connector.
