For the protection of the fibre cable, you can use cable covers or conduits. These covers can be made from rigid metals  or plastic PVC  and act as mechanical protection to reduce the risk of damage:

Hello @ashtana2 

 Considering 300 meter is enough for your house (hope you are not a billionaire! ) you can use the MGBSX1 GBIC.

You can use it with LC fiber connector

When you contact a reseller, you will ask for outdoor and they will guide you on the cable type. As long as the connector is LC on both sides. you will be good.
