Cable Drop Through Attic Multistories

For single floor homes with a basement the basement may be the best path.

Cable drop through attic multistories.

Drill holes in the floors as per your markings by using a power drill equipped with a 5 8 inch drill bit. To drill through a rug make a small cut in the rug with a utility knife and then drill down through the cut. I ve mounted a junction box on the stud by cutting into the wall then made a small pilot hole into the attic through the ceiling to register the main hole through the 2x4. Step 4 drop the coaxial cable through the holes in the floor until it reaches the connection in the basement.

By using a drill bit sized large enough for the cable. Drop the string and catch it in the wall cutout and use that to pull the cable through. My cable tv is distributed through the attic so it seemed like a good solution to run my home network through there as well. The upstairs room solution is pretty obvious go vertically up through the wall in the computer room into the attic space run the cables to where they need to go then drop then down into the rooms punch them into the back of a wall plate done.

These methods will work for any cable telephone network thermostat power etc. Use a piece of string that you can add a small weight to such as a steel nut or whatever you can find.
