It is necessary to connect 2 sites, the distance is 4-5 km, the speed is 4-10 (not essential, but 1Gb is not enough). You need something like separate media converters, since in the existing equipment there is only space for SFP. What do you advise? What are the additional requirements for cables at such speeds? Or can I use the usual for 1310 nm?

And where to put 10G if there is only SFP on the equipment?
Maybe it makes sense to raise four links to 1G SFP - the cable, anyway, will not be with one fiber?

Buy separate switches with SFP +, as well as long-range 10G transceivers?

I will support the option with CWDM. If there are enough SFP ports in the existing equipment, this will be the easiest option. At a distance of several kilometers, any single-mode fiber will work fine.

Laying 4 cores will be more expensive than one. I would ideally arrange a media converter with several 1Gb outputs to connect it using LACP to different switches in the stack.

there are many options, but it's all interesting to know how many fibers between buildings,
if 1 - then choose 10G or CWDM 1G, multiplied by your need for speed.
if there are a lot of fibers in the cable - which, in principle, is not a particular problem for such a short distance - then the easiest way is to start WDM 1G + link aggregation (LACP, pagp).
