Power delivery is a subtraction problem — connector, attenuation, bending and the tip each remove their share, and the fibre only tells you what is left at the far end.
The Bend Radius Your Fiber Actually Needs
Minimum bend radius fiber specs are allowances, not measurements. Why turn count, wavelength and cable diameter change the number you need.
