Difference between RFI AND EMI supression(plug wire)

Ok just a simple one,i ve changed my plug wire last week.I got a DELTEQ system and didnt like the long route of the wire so i made custom OTVC one.

The plug wire that came with the Delteq kit are "EMI SUPRESSION" wich i dont know what it mean

The custom one that i ve made are ACCEL 8.8 (part 8021)"RFI SUPRESSION",and again i dont know what it mean

Abuddy of mine told me that plug wire are different and it could happened that they would not be suitable for my LT4...

So are the ACCEL that i ve bought and already install on my car any good?
and
Whats the difference between EMI and RFI supression?

Thanks

EMI (Electro-magnetic Interference) is created anytime an electric current runs through a wire. RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) is often caused by EMI. Unsuppressed wires would make it a pain to listen to your radio or could interfere with other electronics in the vehicle. Unless the wires say "Race only", I would not worry about it. Almost all spark plug wires must have a certain amount of EMI suppression for a street vehicle.

Ok so the RFI should be ok.

Thanks
