I'm trying to add networking ports in each room, and need to get wires across to the other side of the house.

I see power cables going across, but I dont think you're supposed to run cat6 next to power lines. There's a little hole though which 2 coax lines and a power line goes through, but they're stapled so I cant use them to pull my cat6 across.

Here are some pics

The old telco guys would go outside and back in. You've probably ruled out a basement run.

If you don't get a lot od answers, repost in the electrical section, as they are the most talented when it comes to sneaking in new wires.

By the way, I always love it when I find a pull cord in place in a tough spot and I always try to leave one.

Good Luck
