If this is a one-off project, why not just measure what you need and go to a 
home store that carries indoor/outdoor telephone cable by the foot?  Even if it 
was ancient quad wire (I hope they don’t still sell that), it shouldn’t matter 
if the only other thing in that conduit is fiber, since there should be no AC 
induction or crosstalk.  But you should be able to get 2 or 3 pair telephone 
wire that is at least Cat3 or maybe Cat5, and smaller diameter than typical 
Cat5 4 pair UTP.

I always assume conduit will fill with water, in which case I want filled cable 
with a nick resistant jacket, but it sounds like you just want a temporary 
solution (and maybe then a wire for locating the fiber in the future).

Does it need to be OSP, or is this indoors? Maybe cross-connect cable without a 
jacket (like this:

  Yeah, I am thinking perhaps cat3.  It will have DSL on it.  Maybe even jumper 
wire.

  Sounds like you need cat-3? 

  If you need physically small cable there are several folks who make very 
small patch cables up to 70 some feet. Even flat cable.

    I need some cat5 in 1-2 pair only.  Need a physically smaller cable and 
only 100 Mbps max.  Anyone ever heard of such a thing?
