I like your idea but you are limited to 100M or 300ft, let's scale it up. Single mode fibre can do up to 400Gb per strand pair up to 40km (I'm not converting that to freedom units)
Get yourself a 144 core cable or 72 pairs.
40Km of cable for a total length of 2,880Km of fibre and at 400Gb per meter that is just over 1,000,000 Gb or 1 petabit. 8 bits to a byte for a total cable capacity of 140 terrabytes of data.
Why did I just buy an 18tb HDD when all I had to do was that?
Persistence of data. Once you read the light off the cable the data is gone and you can't get it back.
