Note that these apply to actual high bandwidth cat-5 usage (ie for
ethernet).  For audio, analog video, or burglar alarms, these figures are
pretty much irrelevant.  But if you are putting in cables for networks, it
pays to be careful!  Particularly for these reasons:

>Bend cable around 1" Dia                  2.1 dB
>Kink cable                                2.4 dB

I don't know what losses are acceptable for 10BaseT or 100BaseT, but
probably not much more than a couple of dB, getting more stringent for
higher speeds (it probably says in the leviton guide somewhere).  Don't
pull hard on those cables!
