If I want to create a 10 GbE connection between two workstations that are 1500 meter apart, would this work?
Or am I missing parts?
Price without fiber cable 200 USD.

I have not done this in a while but what comes to mind is you need the wave link in nm to match and the diameter in fiber to be the same size. The wave link needs to match on distance. We only bought glass fiber, no plastic. We used multimode and not single mode as it was much cheaper.
You can be too hot on a short run which is something you need to check unlike copper. Single mode can do 100 miles.

So in the case above, the transceiver is rated for 10 kilometres, does that mean that it will be too hot on the cable length I need which is 1500 meters?
Are those the two numbers I need to match, or is there more to it?

The transceivers need to be within range. They have a range of 10 kilometers but what is the minimum. The Vender will know if 1500 meters is too close. The nanometers need to be the same through out as well as the glass diameter.
And most importantly DO NOT look at the light of a single mode laser. IT will hurt your eyes. If you need to check for light use a mirror. The laser will burn your eyes.
I guess you know that one fiber is transmit and the other is receive. And of course they need to be reversed on the other end to work.

The website just says "Length: up to 10km". The next strongest transceiver says "up to 300m". So I'm guessing that I have picked the right reciever for the job which is more than 300m and less than 10km.
Is see nanometers on the transceiver specs which is 1310nm.
You mentioned that nanometers have to be the same. Do you simply mean that the two transceivers need to match?
I wasn't aware, thanks.
Yes they have to match. The fiber has to match as well or it will not work. Make sure the transceivers are power tunable.
Get a cable with at least 2 pairs, if not 4. Unless you want to rent a fusion splicer and technician to fix fiber cracks or distortion.
Also, you cannot "pull" fiber unless it has a built in structural wire. It has to be laid into position.
Make sure you comply with the minimum radius on any bends or you will stress the fiber and damage it. Don't count on the cable to limit the bend.

Which specs am I looking at exactly? The cable on my buying list doesn't mention much.
Can you explain this? The transceivers I am looking at doesn't mention that it can be tuned.
Could you elaborate?
The cable I linked to mentions both "tactical" and "military grade mesh protected". Does this mean that the cable is strong enough to be pulled or should it also be laid?
If neither "tactical" or "military grade mesh protected" refers to robustness, what exactly am I looking for if I want a cable that is close to BNC HD-SDI cable in strength, and can be "pulled" or moved around without damaging it?
That's a really tall order. I'm sure such a cable exists, but it will probably be as big as a BNC HD-SDI and cost 100x as much.

Make sure the wavelength of the two transceivers matches with each other and then it should work.

for cabling you can use PVC piping to help protect it if you are doing outdoor. Dont just soak the bare cable in drains. A water tight pipe even PVC (As long as it is resistant to acid and chemicals - rain and waste).
Military grade obviously is better quality, but i doubt you have bullets, explosions and shrapnel to worry about along with heavy vibrations. You dont really need military grade if you allow your cable to have enough length to stretch about inside the pipe for both heat and when you're pulling.
