General Guidelines For Installing Fiber Optic Cable Fiber optic cable may be installed indoors or outdoors using several different installation processes.
I would use both armored/direct burial cable inside the conduit as if something ever hits the conduit (shovel, etc.) it''ll increase the odds of the fiber surviving the hit.
Installing outdoor cables inside of buildings is restricted by the standards. DIN EN 50174-1:2020-10 (chapter 4.2.2.1) and DIN EN 50174-2:2018-10 (chapter 4.1.6.2.3) both require that cables
The following items are key considerations in preparation for installing the fiber optic cable when the construction is ready for cable placement. Optical fiber cable

Deploying fiber above ground on poles or towers removes the need for underground digging and is particularly useful when the ground is uneven, rocky or both. Aerial installation is generally much less
Fiber optic cable can be buried or aerial. Factors like cost, terrain, and local regulations determine installation method.
Other aerial cables can be suspended from messenger wires – strong steel wires strung between poles. If a messenger wire is used, the aerial cable is lashed to it with a special lashing wire running around
Between 100 and 250 meters of fibre optic cable can be laid in this way per day. (Source: Fast Opti-com) Laying fiber optic cables in sewage pipes using robots is one of the alternative
Arrange material along the route so it will not interfere with cable placement and not cause a hazard to trafic or pedestrians. Flags, cones, and flagmen should be used where necessary. Personnel should
This guide covers how to safeguard outdoor fiber optics across underground, aerial, direct-burial, and exposed setups. Understanding Outdoor Fiber Optic Cable Risks
