Optical fiber cable sheath
A rule of thumb when specifying sheathing: if interlocked metal ((SL)), plain or covered) sheathing is used, minimum bending radius is 4.

Inner diameter of optical fiber cable when laid in a figure-eight configuration
Minimize mechanical pressure on the outer sheath at crossing points: (armoured) cables crossing each other generate points of high pressure, so it is important when laying in figure 8 loops it is done in a correct way. The figure-eight configuration should be used to prevent kinking or twisting when the cable must be unreeled or backfed. Fiber optic cable should not be coiled in a continuous direction except for lengths of 100 ft (30 m) or less. For loose tube and ribbon cable, the bend radius is specified at 20 times the cable diameter during tension/installation conditions and 10 times during static conditions (check the data sheet).

In which equipment is an 8-core optical fiber cable used
As of 2025, figure 8 fiber optic cable remains the preferred choice for rural broadband, urban pole-to-home drops, 5G small cell backhaul, and utility co-deployment projects worldwide. An 8-core optical cable consists of eight individual fibers within a single cable jacket. However, the MTP/MPO-8 solution is also gaining traction due to its specific advantages and applications. Imm (main cord) Material Stainless Steel Color Silvery White UL94 V-0 (*Burning stops within 10 seconds on a veritcal specimen, no drips of flaming particles.
