LSF vs LSHF - There is a Difference!<br />

<br />
LSF cables, in the case of data, signal<br />
and control cables, are often made<br />
from a modified version of PVC and<br />
can still give off large amounts of<br />
dense smoke and hydrogen chloride<br />
gas when burned.<br />
<br />
Ordinary PVC emits approximately<br />
28% hydrogen chloride when burned<br />
and, while no specific standard exists<br />
for their emissions, LSF cables can still<br />
give off a massive 22% hydrogen<br />
chloride and still be sold as LSF.<br />
<br />
To demonstrate the difference, Wired<br />
has filmed a very simple cigarette<br />
