The weight of coax (1700-feet unsupported) will probably stretch it
out like a angle hair pasta.

I've seen deep bore ice drills where they have plenty of electrical cables
going down to the head, but a thick metal cable supports the entire weight of
the head and every 50' or so they attach a clamp to relieve stress on the
cables.

I would certainly agree that fiber is a superior solution, though. :-)
