Provided it's an SFP port. Soldered onboard fiber ports are a bad idea, thankfully all of the clued-in part 101 radio manufacturers have moved to SFP. It literally costs only $16 per end for 1000BaseLX SFPs these days. LC-LC duplex UPC bulkhead couplers are cheap. Patch cables are cheap.
If done carefully and superglued, crimp on type connectors have an acceptable loss when you are dealing with optics that can handle 10km and only using them at a <500m distance. The other nice thing about an SFP port is that it lets you temporarily connect a technician laptop direct to a radio's data payload port if necessary (1000BaseT SFP).
