Advice on Running Cat6 Through Crawl Space When Stud Bays Aren’t Accessible
I’m looking for advice on running Cat6 cable through my crawl space.
My patch panel is located in an interior wall inside a coat closet, and I have access to that area from the crawl space. The issue is with the exterior walls where I’d like cable drops. Those stud bays sit directly above the concrete foundation/sill plate area, so I don’t have a clear way to get from the crawl space up into the wall cavity even for some of the walls that might appear to be interior walls (please refer to my rudimentary Canva image).
Has anyone dealt with this type of setup before? I’d appreciate any suggestions on clean ways to route the cable, possible surface-mount options, or other methods that would avoid messy exposed runs.
Feel free to drill me with questions. I will hopefully be able to reply with an adequate response. Thanks in advance.
EDIT1:
- Canva image was not added to original post.
- Green are the walls (as you can see not all are exterior walls)
- Blue are my runs to the patch panel.
- Garage is slab on grade.
EDIT2:
- These are the images of the exterior wall directly over my run in the West Corner of my furthest run.
