Best to not pull the fiber cables yourself.

Get your ID to run armored fiber from outside of the house to inside.

After your Reno is done, can get TM to come and help you terminate and join the fiber cable, my house has the originally armored fiber cable from my ID and TM just come after I booked relocation trip with them and join from outside to inside.

But if you insist, SC-SC, single mode simplex 9/125.

Subtel on Shopee sells these patch cord, but proceed at your own risk as you will need to make sure your outdoor termination especially doesn’t get damaged during renovation, or else you’ll still need TM to come and help you reterminate, and also not to mention you can’t plug and play, you need TM to help reprogram your ONU/ONR to fit the PLOAM password from TM DB from the pole. Presumably if you are bringing your ONU/ONR from another location

Unifi uses SC-SC cable

You can buy this from Shopee and ask your contractor to conceal it

However, just ask them to handle with care cause fibre optic cable is essentially glass and glass is fragile. Avoid 90 degree bend as well.

Keep an additional 1m loop at each point for the guys to do their splicing to their infra.

Ok Thanks guys , i decided to register for unifi and wait for them come install at box and make a tempory area for them to place modem & etc etc . After that ill get my contractor to seal the cable to whereever i want .

From there i can just take their old cable and connection follow the same specs.

Thanks guys. For your answers.
