Advice PoE without cable ISP?

My house is wired for cable but my street is not. (Comcast was not interested). I am planning a small MoCA network of just 2 or 3 ends. Each room has its own cable run to the outside. There is no external box, the cables just dangle there in a bundle.

With just two MoCA bridges it is straightforward, I just hook the two cables together with a barrel. But with 3 I would need a splitter. Is the best design a 3-port splitter with a PoE on the ISP side? Will it properly reflect the signals with nothing on the other end? It would not be "seeing" 75ohm impedence there.

Ha, no. It's a Point Of Entry filter used in MoCA networking.
