Low smoke patch cords

Many specifications for data cabling systems ask for the installation of low smoke zero halogen (LSZH) cable but ignore the fact that most patch cords are PVC. If you're specifying or placing an order for a cabling system, consider whether your patch cords should also be LSZH.

When PVC cables burn they give off toxic smoke, gases and acids. LSZH cable is designed to lower the amount of smoke and eliminates Halogens emitted. The performance of the cable isn't affected by the change, they're still ensured to produce maximum cabling speed and data throughput.

Thanks to Connectix for prompting me to post this.
