Hey guys

I've never messed with fiber before and I want to run a fiber cable in an underground conduit between 2 houses that are about 100-130 feet away from each other.

My equipment is mostly Ubiquiti, but I don't think I will be able to run the fiber cable itself all the way to my main switches, at least not initially since that will be a much longer run. I think It will have to be converted to cat 6 shortly after it enters the property lines.

What kind of cable should I run and what should I use as the media converter?

These were my my first choices after a short search, let me know if these would work or if I would be better off using something else. If ubiquiti has a reasonably priced media converter would be great as well but I wasn't able to find anything.

Also, how safe is it to pull this fiber cable through conduit? As in, how likely am I to damage it?
