@devopscats anything can be a conductor is the voltage is high enough

If you're putting such a high voltage across a length of optic fibre that 4A (let alone 200A!) current flows… I do NOT want to be near it.

Edit: seems glass dielectric strength starts at 9.8MV/m… so in excess of 39.2MW of power dissipation for every metre of fibre. Yikes!
