When designing and laying out cable harnesses and systems, the concept of cable bend radius often comes into play. The bend radius is the minimum curve a cable can take without sustaining damage or compromising its performance. Exceeding the recommended bend radius can lead to cable deformation, breakage, or signal loss, especially in high-performance or critical applications.

Designed for Flexibility

Zippertubing specializes in products that provide superior protection and versatility without impeding the natural bend radius of the cables they cover. Unlike some traditional jacketing options, Zippertubing solutions do not impose a minimum bend radius due to their flexible materials and innovative designs. This means our products can flex and bend entirely in line with the cables they protect, without risking damage to the cable or reducing its functionality.

Our products are engineered to accommodate the cables’ natural movements, even allowing for extreme bends, such as folding in half, while maintaining their protective capabilities. This feature makes them ideal for systems requiring dynamic movement or installation in tight or complex spaces. 

A Key Consideration for Installation

While Zippertubing products are incredibly adaptable, it's essential to ensure the fit is appropriate. If the jacketing is too tight, it may physically restrict the harness, much like wearing a jacket that’s too small. A snug but not overly tight fit ensures both the cables and the jacketing function optimally, allowing for full flexibility and protection.

By keeping cable bend radius in mind and pairing it with the right Zippertubing solution, you can enhance the performance, longevity, and reliability of your cable systems without compromise.
