Full Fibre Install - Cable from External Junction Box to ONT
Can anyone assist with the following query:-
In preparation of my full fibre installation, OpenReach have already installed the external junction box. I have a date for the ONT installation which I propose to be in a different location than the external junction box. The install will require a cable to be run externally around my property to a point where a hole is to be drilled to pass through into my property to connect to the ONT.
Is there a standard cable size used to connect the ONT back to the external junction box so that I can plan the cable route.
In addition are there any restrictions on bends?
Many thanks.

The optical pigtail has a robust black sheath over the inner white one and the single strand of glass inside: I'd estimate it's 5mm cable.
Bend radius can't be too abrupt: definitely not a kinked right angle.
