Is PVC better than LSZH for flexibility?

Yes, PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) cables are generally more flexible than LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) cables. The PVC jacket material used in cables provides good flexibility, allowing the cable to bend and maneuver more easily around corners or in tight spaces. This flexibility is beneficial in applications where cable routing requires greater flexibility or frequent movement.

In contrast, LSZH cables often have a stiffer jacket material, which can result in reduced flexibility. The LSZH jacket material is typically designed to provide fire safety and low smoke emission properties rather than flexibility. While LSZH cables can still be bent and routed, they may offer less flexibility compared to PVC cables.

It's important to note that the specific flexibility of a cable can vary depending on factors such as the cable design, construction, and the specific PVC or LSZH materials used. However, in general, PVC cables are known for their greater flexibility compared to LSZH cables.
