Just so I understand correctly. Having multiple pairs is mainly just a back up option? If I run a 12 strand I'd only be using 1 pair and I can leave the others unused?
Correct. As you can imagine, glass is a bit brittle and can break for a myriad of reasons. Just connecting up to a pre-terminated unused fiber is way easier than running a new cable and the extra fibers usually add a minutia of cost.
EDIT, if you have to use pre-terminated cables and cannot terminate fibers yourself, this may end up being more pricey than it is worth. I have not done a price comparison of pre-made/terminated cables and bulk cable, terminations and patch panels.
