The above names are synonym and mean one and the same. Many power cords and cable assemblies are used in fire risk, closed environments. In the event of fire, standard cords and cables emit heavy smoke and toxic, corrosive gases. These effects are quite hazardous. They hinder evacuation, endanger life, and cause corrosion damage to expensive equipment.

The use of LSZH Compounds allows the use of standard electronic hardware with special cords, which are the most affected by the low smoke, zero halogen requirements. These cables greatly reduce the risk of loss of life or corrosion damage to expensive equipment that can occur with commercial grade cables.
