I have a playbar mounted to the wall, the optical cable has to make a 180 deg turn to connect the the tv.
What is the minimum bend radius or the optical cable for the playbar.

I went and looked at my playbar. There is all kinds of room all around the optical plug and the large area is recessed into the cabinet pretty well. I don't see where anyone would have trouble even looping the cable around even 360 deg.
Thanks but I'm trying to hide the cable behind the playbar which means the cable have to make a pretty sharp turn hence my question. May end up having to get a 90 deg connector.

Looking at mine my cable bends around very easy

If you really wanted to, you could put the cable through the wall. It's honestly not too hard to run a cable, especially if you're running it vertically.
