Yeah, I wouldn't use it outdoors. Possibly straight out of the back of NID on the outside wall into the unit. We just use it for the fiber wall plate to the 844G. In MDUs we run 3MM RBR bend insensitive pre-terminated on one end and splice it in the wall plate. You can also get it terminated on both ends of course. It can be run pretty much like cat5. If part of the run is outside, get the version with UV protection. Wall plates are cheap and replacing a 1m patch cable is a whole lot easier then replacing a drop to a unit if you go straight to the ONT. We have fibermint build out our wall plates with a shutter adapter and a pigtail. Order ~1K at a time. Speaking of which it is time to drop another order. Lead times are a PITA due to COVID19 and the constant changing of tariff rules.
