Ghost, yes it would seem that a 2” radius would make this cable be quite accommodating for most setups.
Yes, I agree. It’s always good when a specific quantitative perspective can be obtained on things that are matters of degree. My perception has been that lack of such information frequently leads to unnecessary and often less than pleasant disagreements in forum discussions.
Thanks to Kijanki for initially calling attention to this cable, and to the detailed specifications that are provided for it.
I’ll add that although I don’t have any special expertise when it comes to fiber-optics, my expectation would be that a bend radius that is more severe than is specified for a given cable would not necessarily result in outright failure. I would expect the more likely result would be some marginal degradation of performance, resulting from partial or complete fracture of just some of the many strands that are within such cables. The anecdotal indications that have appeared over the years that glass tends to often provide superior sonic results compared to plastic cables would seem to suggest that optical transmission in audio applications is not an all or nothing thing, but that instead some sort of a performance continuum exists.
