If they can make the hole big enough and then fill it in, then yeah, it 
should be okay.  Switches are usually smart enough to accept crossover 
or standard cables.  I'd guess the same applies for routers.

My only concern would be water getting into the cable or possibly a 
lightning strike, but then maybe I'm just paranoid.
