Fibre optic cables can't be allowed to bend around corners, is this true?

This is true to a degree, a fibre optic cable can't be manipulated like a copper cable and where possible should be laid in a straight line. There is a bend radius that a manufacturer will provide with their cable and the bend should not be exceeded. If the angle of bend is too great the glass will break and thus prevent the data from transferring through.
