What fiber cable to buy?

Hey all, I just applied for a fiber connection from Ogero, today I went to Katranji to buy a fiber cable, I asked the sales guy to get me a fiber optics cable for the connection between the box and my modem and he sold me this one:

I'm worried that it's the wrong cable because from what I'm seeing is that we only need one cable connection between the box and the modem (suplex?), and this cable that I boughtt
has two inputs and two outputs, I'm still not very familiar with the whole fiber cables, can I use only one of the pairs or are they completely different?

That is the correct cable (SC/APC). Figure out where the Ogero box is (or ask the Natour if you have), then figure out a way to lay the cable from your home down to the box. Newer buildings would have an electrical shaft (المنور) that you can use as a conduit.

Nice to have: use a "wall box" as a relay between the 30m cable and your modem. That way it's less likely you damage the long cable and have to lay it again. Katrangi probably sells one for a few dollars.

Thanks for the reply guys!

@Samer thank you for the suggestion I'll definitely buy a wall box, installing this cable was much more difficult than installing the cat6 cable that I had for the dsl as these wires were VERY delicate.
