On my newer (passive) deployment, I've been splicing outside and then
coupling that to an armored patch cable that goes indoors.  Mounting the
ONT/CPE/whatever you want to call it to a floor joist and using POE to
power it.  That way I have the advantage of having the electronics in
somewhat of a climate controlled area, but still am able to run Cat5 for
most of the indoor distance.
