re: Connecting buildings with fiber

I was more so asking about pulling 800 ft of cable through the conduit....I've used a trencher before so I'm not too concerned about that.
Can it be done by hand or do you need to get some sort of mechanical puller?

Also, is pulling 800 ft of cable going to be more difficult than I think? I don't want to underestimate this.
If laying new conduit, put a few mid run pull boxes every 100-200' or so and anywhere you have to make a turn. This will make pulling the fiber way easier and also make it much more serviceable if you need to replace the fiber for any reason in the future. You can find videos on YouTube of how to use either a shop vac or compressed air to get a pull string through each run. After a few hundred feet or through bends or turns, or with multiple cables, difficulty starts increasing fast.

Add a bucket of cable lube to your amazon cart

absolutely do this for anytime you pull cable through conduit. Cable is not designed to be pulled without it.
