This sorta surprises me as I would think the fiberoptic would be worse than copper. I guess the thing ones could roll up pretty good but we had to be much more careful with them than the copper internet at least.
Fibre needs bigger bend radii proportional to the cable size, but they're still rarely over 15mm diameter cables so you can bend them in like 150mm.
Once you start getting to 11kV MV cables, they do like 2m bend radii.
