Talk:Minimum bend radius

This information needs to be found under the heading of "Minimum bend radius" because that is the term that the public comes across when investigating technologies such as WiFi (802.11) cabling. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.110.86.48 (talk) 14:34, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Errors in text?
Looks like there may be errors in text. What do "cranding" and "lickage" mean? Should it be cracking and leakage?

From article: Beside mechanical destruction, other reason why one should avoid excessive bending is to minimize microbending macrobending losses. Microbending losses are light attenuation that are induced by deformity (clinks) on the fibre while macrobending are the lickage of light through the fibre cranding and this is more likely to happen where the fibre is excessively bent.
