It depends on the cable. 0 to 5000 volts the minimum bending radius is 6 x diameter of the cable. Above 5000 volts the minimum bending radius is 8 x the diameter of the cable.
4 times the diameter of the cable
For Unshielded cables, it will 8 multiplies cable diameter and for shielded cables, it is 12 multiplies the cable diameter. However, the smaller the bend radius, the greater is the material flexibility.RegardsKelechi
Radius of curvature divided by tube diameter. To get the radius of curvature, imaging the bend in the tube is a segment of a circle, the radius of curvature is the radius of that circle.
There is no difference. Different suppliers and contractor describe the same situation with 3R or 3D. Here is how to think about it. A piping segment is formed or bent at a radius. The radius is measured at the centerline of the bend. The radius of the bend centerline is 3 times the nominal diameter of the piping segment being bent. 3R means the bend radii is three times the nominal pipe diameter. 3D means three times the nominal pipe diameter is the bend radii of the piping segment. Caution don't begin to convert 3R to 1.5D. Not applicable with this terminology. Standard long ells can be purchased with 3R bends, being 10 inch pipe ells have a bend radii of 30 inches.
The radius of a circle is a line segment joining any point of the boundary of the circle to its centre. A diameter is a line segment from a point of the boundary of the circle which passes through the centre and ends at the boundary on the opposite side.
4 times the diameter of the cable
6x od
The radius of the curve of the inner edge of the bends shall be at least 6 times the external diameter for armoured cable.
For Unshielded cables, it will 8 multiplies cable diameter and for shielded cables, it is 12 multiplies the cable diameter. However, the smaller the bend radius, the greater is the material flexibility.RegardsKelechi

Four times the outer jacket diameter.
The RADIUS of a 5D pipe bend is actually what is 5 times the nominal diameter. So if you had a 10" diameter pipe, the radius of the centerline of the bend would be 50 inches.
A 3D bend is a pipe bend that the bend radius is 3 times the pipe outside diameter.
Typically, wires have a bend radius of 10 times the diameter of the wire. Measuring the inside. This is basically to prevent injury or changes in impedance at the bend. Also note that the tighter the bend can damage the insulation in coaxial or triaxial cables and cause lower dielectric strength between layers. Best to install cables where ripples don't form on the surface and moderate force is recommended. MIL-W-5088 has more information.

Use the curvature of a tennis ball as a good guide. Try not to bend fiber cables any more than this. The maximum bend (called the maximum bend radius) for any fibre optic cable is determined by the manufacturer, and improvements are being made all of the time. With todays cables, if you bend a fiber optic cable 90 degrees (so it is shaped like the letter L) you will surely damage it. You want to have smooth, gradual curves, and don't go beyond the radius of a tennis ball.
