Custom cables are extremely complicated, at least at first glance. Once you break down the different sections of the wire and the different options it becomes a much easier process. The first thing to keep in mind before choosing any of your materials is to fully understand what your custom cable will be subject too. Will your cable be surrounded by other cables, in a high-temperature environment or even be subject to contact with acidic chemicals?

In the last decade, there has been an increasing trend for halogen-free cable, because LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) designations emit limited smoke and no halogen when exposed to high temperatures or when it comes into direct contact with fire.
