For that length, go with single-mode. 10G-LR will happily run on 10km of SMF, but 10G-SR flakes out at ~300m even on OM3. Laying outdoor MMF plant like this is totally pointless. Using MMF for anything outside your cabinet / small cage is creating a legacy deployment on day 1 which will bite you in future years. To answer the question you asked: if the ducts are already in place and you're just pulling fibre through, you should have a breakdown in terms of # of terminations + the manpower required to handle the pull + cable finishing. I.e. it shouldn't be very much. If you need ducting laid or if your existing ducting is in poor shape, that's a different issue. Nick
