Fiber optic cable bent at 90 degrees breaks

The fiber optic 90-degree bend refers to the minimum radius required when cables must change direction at right angles. Similar to how a garden hose restricts water flow when kinked, fiber optic cables experience performance degradation or complete signal loss when bent too sharply. These delicate cables, encased in a protective sheath, are responsible for carrying vast amounts of data across vast distances at remarkable speeds.
