bend-insensitive

or "with low bend sensitivity", or "immune to bending losses", etc.

Older fibers had a tendency to lose a significant fraction of the transmitted radiation when bent.
Peer comment(s):
agree Charles Ek : Or "bend insensitive," e.g., "StockerYale's bend insensitive fibers are designed for improved bend performance in reduced radius applications."

Thank you, Charles
neutral Thomas Johansson : or "insensitive to bending" // Right. "bend-sensitive" is easier to handle grammatically in a variety of contexts and the better choice if one standard form is sought. "insensitive to bending" is just an alternative for more relaxed constructions.

Strangely enough, this variant is used in technical texts very rarely, everyone uses "bend(-)insensitive"
