No, bending Ethernet cable typically does not cause problems. It may slightly affect performance but is generally safe and common in installations.
It varies by cable type and how much it bends. Usually, unless they’re twisted too tightly for a thumb wrap, they should work fine. Tightening a CAT6a loop and pulling straight can cause crosstalk according to a certifier. Soft CAT5e cables with stranded wires can be bent freely without losing performance.
I've been checking connections through CMD to 8.8.8.8 and 1.1.1.1, experiencing random delays and timeouts similar to what you see in games with ping spikes. When I moved under the table, my PC dropped significantly, and reattaching the Ethernet cable helped reduce bending. Since then, I've kept pinging consistently without any interruptions.
