7.5 Minimum Bend Radius – For raw cable less than or equal to ½ inch in diameter, the minimum distance
to complete a 90 degree bend including the connector is 4 inches. For larger diameter cable, the
minimum inside radius i s 4 times the cable diameter plus 2.000 inches for the connector. The single-
ended cable assembly should be be nt one time over the correct mandrel in 4 independent directions.
See Figure 1. The cable assembly should meet the requirements of 6.3 and 6.10
