Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) - Low smoke zero halogen or sometimes known as Low Smoke Halogen Free (LSHF) cable is made of thermoplastic that emits a limited amount of smoke and no halogen when exposed to high heat sources such as fire. In a fire, a halogen-containing plastic material releases hydrogen chloride, a poisonous gas that forms hydrochloric acid when it meets water. Commonly used in buildings for safety in the event of a fire. Both the pink outer sheath and internal black & red sheaths are manufactured from LSZH rated materials.

Additional Help

Depending on the power of your amp, you may require thicker speaker cable (higher contact area). We stock a wide range of speaker cable so please view our shop, if you require help, then please give us a call. An amplifier is constantly outputting power, in order for it to do this efficiently with less resistance, speaker cable that matches your system should be used. A good analogy is water flowing into a watering can and then out of a spout. If the spout is too small water will build up, however if a large spout is used water can flow freely. Good practices such as not cutting or breaking any of the individual strands when stripping speaker cable help to increase performance.

How to Use – Speaker cable should be inserted into amplifiers and speakers, then secured. The polarity also needs to be checked, this is where the positive and positive are connected together and the negative and negative are connected together.
