RF Coaxial Cable damage due to improper handling
RF
Coaxial cable damaged due to improper handling resulting
in 1.7db loss in cable. Cable was pulled too tight around
support bracket resulting in indentation in dielectric
under outer jacket and cold flow of jacket where maximum
bend radius was exceeded.

Design Considerations
14. Route and support harnesses and cables so that they
are protected from abrasion, cold flow, cut through,
vibration, chafing, flexing, and sharp edges. Bend Radii
for Completed Interconnecting Cable or Harness Individual
coaxial cable, Optimum Bend Radius (10x OD), Minimum
Bend Radius (6x OD)
