The idea is the plugs are spaced-out at the end so they'll pass into a box through a gland opening, the box effectively has back to back fibre connectors (e.g. LC) in it, you plug the pre-terminated fibre to the inside, and you plug your end device to the outside

Forgot to mention, that's regular fibre. If you want to bury I'd look at armoured, eg:

it's more robust when poking down a duct and less attractive to rodents etc. It isn't fully waterproof so I'd try and have the duct terminate above the water table. They also do a direct burial version that is waterproof:

Now it makes sense!
Even if the cable is in a conduit, outdoor cable filled with oil or petroleum gel to prevent damp diffusing in and impairing it should be used.
I didn't have another bit of string handy.
It'll only be a problem if I want to add, not replace, the existing cable. And then AIUI you blow a bit of paper through with a vacuum cleaner.
