The Bend Radius Determines How Much You Can Bend a Cable
The bend radius is defined as the minimum radius a cable can be bent without damaging it or degrading its performance. If a cable is bent beyond its bend radius, it will kink it, damage it, shorten its life, or increase crosstalk or interference. That’s why it’s important to know the bend radius of the cables you are purchasing and using.

When you try to design a perfect server or computer system, you may not have thought about choosing a perfect drive cable.

Pactech’s Most Versatile CAT6 Cable

Welcome to the New Pactech
For the past few years, we have seen a growing number of our customers buying our products for large data center deployments. This trend well aligns with the prediction by Gartner, a well respected market research company for the IT industry, that worldwide IT spendings on data center will reach $144 billion worldwide in year 2015. As a result, we decided to launch a few key strategic initiatives to serve data center customers while strengthening our existing custom cable services.
In phase 1 of our plan today, Pactech is proud to announce the introduction of our new logo, the launch of our new website, and the opening of our new headquarters, to reflect our new initiatives.
