Fiber Conduit

[laketime]

I am installing some underground for future fiber optic cables. There are no specs. What is usually the minimum radius on a 2" pvc conduit run for fiber.

I have been told standard radius on one occassion and 36" on another.

the Corning FO I've been speccing recently (FREEDM series) requires a bend radius of 3.8" for pulling and 2.5" for installed. This is a 6 fiber, tight buffered cable. the 24 fiber goes to 6.5"/4.3".

The minimum permitted bending radius for 1.25" conduit is 7.25". As the conduit size gets larger the minimum bending radius also gets larger. You should have no issues with the bend radius of the conduit.
