Cat5e/6/6e bend radius when punching down?

Hey there, this has been on my mind for quite a while now. There are industry standards of how far you should bend a CAT cable but is there anything out there that mentions a bend radius for individual conductors?

For example, you strip the jacket of the CAT6 cable, place it in a keystone punchdown jack, and place the conductors into the 110 blades. The thing is, aren't the conductors exceeding a bend radius? In most cases, the conductors are forced to make a right angle bend. I'd love to hear what you guys have to say.
