It's been awhile since I've been in a data center, but fiber cables were usually the ones that seemed to have more staying power even when they started to flake. Maybe because some of them were long runs and they weren't cheap. You'd see some absolutely wrenched cable going into rack at a horrifying angle from the tray on 30ft run with greater regularity than I'd care to admit.
