Get the Shireen DFP-1246. That has a red and a black 12AWG. And 4x
single-mode fibers. You could do even one single run of that and 4x BiDi
optics. Or a run for each radio if you're stuck with duplex optics. The
reel is 500', so I would just do two dedicated runs. Bring it up to a
small enclosure. Terminal strip or whatever for your power. LC-LC
couplers or a patch panel. Flexible conduit from the radios to the
enclosure. Use standard patch cables inside from the radio to the
coupler/patch panel.
Have your guy splice on some LC pigtails. Or go to FS.com and get some
mechanical LC connectors. As short as the run is, I would not be
concerned with mechanical connectors. This is single mode, so you're
going to have plenty optical budget.
That's my 2c anyway.

We are putting our first fiber to the radio, I have no clue the
components. It appears this link will have 4 LC connectors on single
fiber.
Theres a conduit kit for the radio, looks like 2 to each radio in 2+0
if im understanding correctly. I figure we will need an enclosure at
the top for these to enter to let the fiber pairs split out.
The two big questions are
Can I get this cable in pre terminated patch cords affordably and just
cut the jacket back to get the pairs to the radios.
If its preterminated without running big pipe, conduit is kind of out
so is just something copper clad similar to BBDGE recommended?
Neither of these are more than 120 feet
Our guy can splice at 70 bucks per, but im not sure how viable that is
in the air (these are grain elevators though)
Both these radios have existing cat5 BBDGE, can I use that to run
about 105 watts @ 48volts split out to two radios at 120 feet?
Im pretty excited to not have ethernet negotiation issues or surges
