Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a cable bend radius guide. The cable bend radius guide comprises a flexibly rigid linear material of a predetermined length having a plurality of pairs of corresponding bend radius markers each separated by a predetermined distance along the predetermined length. The cable bend radius guide further comprises at least one constraint configured to fasten a first bend radius marker and a second bend radius marker of each pair of bend radius markers together to cause a portion of the flexibly rigid linear material between the first bend radius maker and second bend radius marker of each pair of bend radius markers to generate a substantially circular loop having a minimum bend radius corresponding to a cable's minimum bend radius.

Claim (Index 11):
A method comprising:\n providing a cable bend radius guide, the cable bend radius guide comprising: a flexibly rigid linear material of a predetermined length having a pair of corresponding bend radius markers separated by a predetermined distance along the predetermined length; and a restraint configured to fasten a first bend radius marker and a second bend radius marker of the pair of bend radius markers together to cause a portion of the flexibly rigid linear material between the first bend radius marker and second bend radius marker to generate a substantially circular loop having a bend radius corresponding to a cable's minimum bend radius; obtaining a cable requiring bending; conjoining the pair of bend radius markers by holding the first bend radius marker and the second bend radius marker together such that they are in proximity to each other and are adjacent; restraining the first pair of bend radius markers using the restraint; and bending the cable using the substantially circular loop as a reference such that the cable's bend radius is at least the minimum bend radius.
