What are the Difference between LSZH and High Temperature Cable?

1. Primary Purpose

• High temperature cables: Designed to operate in environments with extremely high temperatures. They are constructed with materials that can withstand continuous exposure to high heat without degrading.

• LSZH cables: Designed to produce minimal smoke and no halogen gases when exposed to fire. This makes them safer in terms of reducing toxic gas emissions and corrosive effects during combustion.

2. Materials

• High Temperature Cables: Made from heat-resistant materials like silicone, PTFE, or fiberglass.

• LSZH Cables: Made from non-halogenated materials that produce low smoke and are fire-retardant.

3. Applications

• High Temperature Cables: Used in high-heat environments like industrial furnaces, aerospace, and automotive applications.

• LSZH Cables: Used in areas where reducing smoke and toxic gas emissions is crucial, such as public buildings, tunnels, and data centers.

4. Safety Focus

• High Temperature Cables: Focuses on withstanding high temperatures without degrading.

• LSZH Cables: Focuses on reducing harmful emissions and smoke during fires for improved safety.

5. Environmental Impact

• High Temperature Cables: Primarily concerned with thermal stability and performance.

• LSZH Cables: Concerned with human safety by reducing harmful smoke and gas emissions.

In summary, high temperature cables are designed for high-heat environments to ensure durability and performance, while LSZH cables are designed to enhance safety by minimizing toxic smoke and halogen emissions during a fire.
