Abstract
The invention concerns a technique for routing an optical fiber through a bend so that it can traverse a hinge or other mechanical connector having a bend radius smaller than the minimum bend radius of the fiber. Particularly, the radius of curvature of an optical fiber traversing a bend can be maximized by routing the fiber so as to have a route component parallel to the axis about which the fiber must bend. For instance, in a hinged connection in which the optical fiber must bend around the axis of the hinge, the optical fiber may be routed over the arc around the hinge with a route component parallel to the axis of the hinge.
