Short answer: yes.

Long answer: you need to choose appropriate connectors and fibre types. There's more to fibre than just OM5 and OS2 on LC connectors. Disaster recovery agencies as well as militaries use fibre cabling in temporary camp / communication infrastructure setups too, with ruggedized cables and connectors. There's 50+ years of history and experience to source from.

"Counter" answer: copper cables in cars also break.



Currently to avoid Radio Control in Ukraine they have drones controlled using fiber cables.
