Would it be possilble to light the dark side of a tidally locked planet using fiber optics from the right side?

Assume planetary-scale cables are easily constructed, and subsequently ignored.
I am assuming these cables would run just under the surface of the planet from one side to the other for minimal maintenance from weathering. (I am also assuming minimal tectonic activity.)
Would this be able to light up the entire dark side? Only a fraction?
If it helps for quick calculations, assume an Earth-like planet.
