You definitely want to stick with MPO-12/APC single-mode fiber here. The angled polish (APC) minimizes back reflection (return loss), which is crucial for maintaining signal integrity over a 10km run. Using UPC will cause signal degradation and high CRC errors over distance. By

FEC (Forward Error Correction) is an error correction technique todetect and correct a limited number of errors in transmitted data without the need for retransmission. It works by adding redundant bits to a bitstream to help the decoder odetect and correct some transmission errors without the need for retransmission. This function needs to be turned on by the transmission device. By
