How to Choose fiber optic Cables?
Choosing a fiber optic cable for any given application requires considering two issues, installation requirements and environmental or long-term requirements. Installation requirements include where and how the cable will be installed, such as pulled in conduit outdoors or placed in cable trays in a building. Long term requirements need to consider moisture or water exposure, temperature, tension (aerial cables), or other environmental factors.
You should contact several cable manufacturers (two minimum, three preferred) and give them the specs. They will want to know where the cable is going to be installed, how many fibers you need and what kind (single mode, multimode or both in what we call "hybrid" cables.) You can also have a "composite" cable that includes copper conductors for signals or power. The cable companies will evaluate your requirements and make suggestions. Then you can get competitive bids.

Since the cable plant design will call for a certain number of fibers, consider adding spare fibers to the cable - fibers are cheap compared to installing more cables. That way, you won't be in trouble if you break a fiber or two when splicing, breaking-out or terminating fibers. And consider future expansion needs. Most users install many more fibers than needed, especially adding single mode fiber to multimode fiber cables for campus or premises backbone applications.
