Hello, given Free's little interest in connecting me to fiber optics, I decided to switch to Orange or Shot. To facilitate the work of the installer, I will run a conduit to finalize the passage of the fiber cable from the garage to the room where I want to place the LiveBox. Does anyone know the desired diameter of the conduit for passing this cable? Thank you for your help.

Hello,

The black fiber cable has a diameter of about 5 mm. So the diameter of the sheath is not an issue. 16 mm is suitable.
But we especially need wide bends, not elbows, because optical fiber cannot withstand tight bends.
