Can I use the ER7212PC to extend my internet network using Fibre Optic via the SFP port?

I'm interested in purchasing the 7212. I have a large network (have 26x Ethernet ports and mutiple WAPs spread across two buildings)
This is my proposed setup:
ISP Modem --Ethernet in WAN port--> ER7212
-> Fibre Optic in SFP LAN port -> TL-SG3428MP -> Devices
-> Ethernet Cable in LAN port -> 16 Port TP-Link Switch -> Devices
Will the ER7212 have any problems with extending the network via a Fibre Optic cable? I have run a conduit between a separate building with Fibre Optic (I am told I cannot use Ethernet due to risk of lightning strikes) but really need this router to actually be able to convert the signal effortlessly.
These are the transducers I will be using:
FS have informed me they are TP-Link compatbile.
Thanks.
