I don't know if here is the right place to ask this question. Well, I want to know how to calcule (or if it is on a standar) the maximum curvature degree for UTP cat. 6 cables?

If you mean the minimum bend radius, then it is four times the cable diameter for UTP cables. This is detailed in ANSI/TIA/EIA 568 Commercial Building Telecommunications Cabling Standard.

Exceeding the minimum bend radius or maximum pulling tension can permanently damage a cable.
