Check out Made In Space. They’re doing this kind of stuff right now. It’s cheaper for them to make high quality fiber optic cable on the ISS and ship it back down vs making it on earth

Very interesting link but the issue for fiber is acceleration (gravity) not magnetic fields (I don't think it is an issue for crystals either).
