Minimum Cable Bend Radius
InfiniBand cables can be damaged if they are bent beyond the minimum bend radius. Damage can
occur even if the cables are temporarily bent beyond this limit during installation. It is helpful to “pre-
form” the cables to the bent condition prior to installation. This reduces any undue strain at the plug
or receptacle connection at the time of installation. Figure 3 illustrates the areas that are of particular
concern, and Figure 4 provides measurement guidelines.
