optic fiber cable by TM is tiny.. probably similar size like a standard USB cable,
or for better reference - Apple's Lightning cable thickness.

for installation, i suppose the installer would pull the cables first and only terminate the end
connection with the termination point/patch (not sure what it's called)

my take is - assuming that you're doing in-wall casing/runway for your LAN cables,
the size of the runway/casing should be able to fit fiber cable too.

however, bear in mind that fiber cables might easily break (it's not metal wiring)
thus, avoid super tight turning angles.

those who have done in-wall runway might be able to advise you better.

What is the current practice of TM contractor when they pull the fiber,

1. For the outdoor fiber, do they just pull the shortest path from pole to the house outer wall and terminate into the fiber wall socket? If we need to run 10-15 meters along the house outer wall to reach suitable point to enter house, will they do it? Since we are not charged for the outdoor fiber.

2. Unifi installation video mentioned fiber wall socket (FWS), should this be installed outside the house? Or inside? Possible next to the BTU?

3. Will the contractor try to make the indoor fiber run longer than 50m so became chargeable?
