Fire rated cables are typically used in commercial buildings, office towers, hospitals, motels, train stations, and other areas with high density housing. In Australia, fire-rated cables have evolved over several decades, and their properties are now well-established. In Australia, fire certified cables are flame retardant, which means they prevent the spread of fire along the cable if it is exposed to a fire source. 

When fire rated cables are exposed to fire, they also generate less smoke and hazardous elements, ensuring that building evacuation lanes are not obstructed by smoke and that inhalation has a lower impact on people’s health, which could limit their ability to leave buildings during a fire. Another crucial feature is that fire-rated cables can continue to function in the event of a fire (often termed circuit integrity under fire). Exit signs, exhaust fans, elevators, fire fighting sprinkler systems, and water pumps, among other emergency services, can continue to operate as a result of this.
