@professionalbigot69@poa.st holes outside are like holes inside but worse cause water damage, air leakage, insects, and rodents something like this ought to work for both https://www.amazon.com/FLYPROFiber-Outdoor-Armored-Industrial-Installed/dp/B0CYG3K7D6 the outdoor one will need lots of support, maybe some of those stainless cable clamps with the rubber padding and stainless screws for them. give it a drip loop at the bottom before it goes in the hole, and give both the top and bottom a generous helping of silicone caulk. use a patch panel at the bottom like this: https://www.amazon.com/VANDESAIL-Enclosure-Include-Pigtail-Network/dp/B0D3V94134 if you can't coil up all the excess fiber inside, do it outside and then zip tie the loops before securing them to the wall. obey the minimum bend radius and maximum pulling force at all times. if they're unlisted, assume like 4 inches and 25 pounds. and either a second patch panel or LC keystones at the top of each if you've got plenty of wall/outlet box space. i would do the whole thing indoors with cat6, possibly cat6a if it's really long. i can't even saturate 10GbE from NVME drive to RAID controller cache. 40GbE switches will be very loud, power hungry, and expensive for anything you can't salvage from e-waste. i don't think any desktop motherboards have enough PCIe lanes for a both an x16 GPU and a 40GbE NIC.
