Comment on HDMI 2.2 cranks the bandwidth to 96Gbps and aims to eliminate audio sync issues forever
tyler@programming.dev 2 weeks agoFiber needs like an 8” minimum bend radius… I think that’s for just a single strand.

It definitely depends on the application but my instructor showed it to us in training and I replicated it for a tech who wasn’t there later
There’s also two minimums, one for how much it can bend before the fiber breaks and one (much larger) radius for peak operation. A knot causes optical loss but it still works

Yeah man you can fuck up fiber all kinds of ways and it still works great. Short of intentionally stomping the patch it’s fine.

They have cables with harder jackets for racks that I’m sure is what most people are thinking of with the bend radius but yeah…bulk fiber is incredible. The big caveat is temperature… don’t pull fiber when it’s freezing out.
