Can I put a hard 45º fold in the cable so I can make a right hand turn?
This is common in other ribbon cables, but I want to confirm these cables can do this before I order.

It will take a fold, but repetitive flexing of sharp radius bends will cause the traces to work-harden and crack.
So measure twice & fold once.
