> There are not far more types of fiber cable, there are far more types of jackets :)
Ahhhh, thanks for clarifying! Now I understand what you’re saying, the jacket and fibers have different bend radiuses (radii). I appreciate you taking the time to explain :) also, noted about there only being a few types of fiber, with a multitude of jackets.
I’ll let my low voltage subcontractor know about the underwhelming Leviton cable, it’s a plan and spec public job so it’s possible the Leviton rep is friends with the engineer and got their cable flat specced, wouldn’t be the first time!
I’m only responsible for the raceway, it’s a 2500’ run between two college campuses separated by a highway that runs outside for a good chunk of the distance so it’s possible the jacket is beefy and inflexible for temp resistance. I’m much more familiar with electrical conductor jackets, THHN and XHHW-2, which are PVC and XLPE, respectively.
