Cordset Bend Radius Limits

With high flex cordsets of lengths 25 meters and lower, limit bends as follows:

In installations where a cordset does not bend continuously, limit bending to the static bend radius of 34 mm.
In installations where a cordset bends continuously, limit bending to the dynamic bend radius of 40 mm.

High flex cordset bend radius limits

Custom cordsets between 25 and 60 meters (the maximum length available) have a static bend radius limit of 45 mm and a dynamic limit of 140 mm.

Standard cordset bend radius limits

High flex cordsets are rated for a minimum of 2 million 90° Tick Tock bends and 7 million U-shaped bends, both at the dynamic bend radius limit of 40 mm. The following illustrations show the test setups used to determine the number of bends in high flex cordsets.

Tick-tock test setup (θ = 180°)

U-shape test setup (L = 500 mm).

For cordset part numbers, see Accessories.

Standard (non high flex) cordsets, which are no longer available, have a static bend radius limit of 45 mm and a dynamic limit of 140 mm. Standard cordsets are rated for a minimum of 2 million 90° Tick Tock bends.
