Usually, the manufacturers indicate the recommended bend radius. But if there are no specifications, then the rule of thumb is that the minimum bend is 20 times the cable diameter for standard fiber optics. If you go too far, the bend can cause a loss in the signal and possibly permanently damage the fiber.
Simplex cables consist of a single strand of glass fiber and is widely used when a single transmit/receive line is required between devices. Duplex cables consist of two strands of glass fiber and are used in situations where separate transmit and receive lines are required.
