David, Be careful here. While fiber itself is non-conductive, and the outer jacket is non-conductive, there are fiber cables that have metal sheaths below the outerjacket - these are used for mechanical strength. Should the outer jacket become damaged, and there is cross-over you could have a pro

Not having had a product with this variability, I can't offer much from experience. However, I would think that not all tests have to be performed at all frequencies. Conducted and Radiated emissions and immunity definitely - board layout vs.operating speed vs.wide frequency range of these tests.
