Ok, but cutting power is all about energy density right? The light
exiting a multimode cable should scatter pretty rapidly....or so I would
think.

Epilog Zing CNC laser cutters start at 30 watts I think. So a 60 watt
laser on a fiber could certainly cut flesh and insulation and paper
etc.

I need to have this
I dont care about data, you guys can have that
i just want the lasers

According to the article, power transfer on a normal multimode fiber
was only 20% efficient, so they made a special cable with skinnier
cores on the power strands and used 6 of them together. I.E.: Power
and data are on the same cable, but not the same fibers, and they're
not standard fibers anymore.
If you had 10W each on 6 fibers, does that make it safer?

Imagine unplugging a fiber that has 60 watts on it. You will be
cutting holes in all kinds of things. Could slice off a whole row of
other fibers in a heartbeat. I would think you could cook the socket
by just unplugging it.
