Light is nearly pure energy with no mass.
Your theoretical cable has near zero energy and is almost entirely mass.
Black holes (collections of mass) pull on mass much more than energy.
Your cable would be pulled apart - ie spaghettified - long, long before it reached an event horizon, given an event horizon is the point where even a massless particle like light can’t escape.
