The bender is capable of forming complex, fully formed bends without any distortion of the critical internal dimensions of the cable. Bend angles ranging from 0 to 180° are possible.
Bend radius is fixed and all bends are formed around the minimum bend radius recommended for RG402. The minimum bend radius for most coax cable is Ø x 2.5.
The diameter of RG402 is 3.6mm; therefore the minimum bend radius, for RG402, is 9mm.
This tool (for RG402) is designed to bend through a radius of 9.5mm, or an inside bend radius of 9.5 — 1.8 = 7.7mm, which leaves a slight margin, guaranteeing that the minimum bend radius is never exceeded.
The diameter of RG405 is 2.3mm; therefore the minimum bend radius is 5.8mm.
For RG405 it is designed to bend through a radius of 5.8 mm, or an inside bend radius of 5.8mm — 1.1mm = 4.7 mm, which again leaves a slight margin, guaranteeing that the minimum bend radius is never exceeded.
The tools are capable for pushing or pulling the cable into the desired shape. This capability was designed in to maximize the possibility of forming the most complex shapes.
In use, the body of the tool can be held by hand or secured in a bench mounted vice by means of the lower platform section.
All components are constructed from brass and aluminium with stainless steel screws.
