Traditionally, the main application for fire survival cables is in fire alarm systems, as this cable continues to operate for a specified period in the event of a fire. In addition to fire alarm systems, these cables are also used in other safety-critical wiring circuits, such as those powering emergency lighting, data recording system and sprinkler pumps.

Fire survival cables are required in commercial/residential buildings for more sophisticated alarm systems, emergency telephone lines, CCTV systems and public address systems that have to continue to operate during a fire and also in critical equipments such as elevators. Over the years the usage is on the increase with newer applications emerging in cinema halls and hospitals.
