Before plastering, choose a doorbell, make a suitable hole for the back box in the wall, drill through, pull in the cable, plaster, install the box and the doorbell.

Depending on the outdoor station, they are often connected using individual wires rather than with RJ45. In that case, of course, no patch cable is needed.

I am currently in the same situation of laying the appropriate cables to the door in the shell construction phase, but I am not yet sure exactly how to implement it.
We are getting a front door with an automatic lock and numeric code keypad, i.e. it needs at least a 4-core bell/telephone cable to the bell transformer in the meter cabinet. [...]
Of course, everything nicely airtight and secure.

"Secure" not least with regard to not offering the burglar’s laptop a programming interface to disable your alarm system.

Furthermore, I want an outdoor station with a doorbell button and camera, which I could address via POE.
Now I don’t know how best to do the network connection (through the 36.5 cm aerated concrete wall and plaster):
1. drill through, thread CAT installation cable through and leave it hanging out?
2. drill through, thread CAT installation cable through and lead it outside into a flush-mounted box? (Problem: outdoor station is usually flush-mounted, i.e. flush-mounted box would then interfere)
3. drill through, thread empty conduit through, install a flush-mounted box on the inside, CAT installation cable into the flush-mounted box, then connect the outdoor station by patch cable through the empty conduit?

I don’t understand the problem: on the feed-in side next to the flush-mounted outdoor station, you can just install a flush-mounted box (?).
Even if in "Life of Brian" it says: "Each only one cross!" polygamy with several flush-mounted boxes is allowed on one wall.

A little tip. We needed an additional cable besides the 8-core network cable from the outdoor station to the POE switch and from there to the indoor station for the door opening module. We ran that to the fuse box and from there to the door. Although the network cable can probably be split, it was easier with 2 cables.
