A friend in a medical office wants a network connection added. Bringing a
cable from the hub to the ceiling above the desk is a piece of cake. Getting
it inside the wall is ... well, I've never done this before.
The ceiling is suspended type with removable tiles. The wall is sheet rock
over metal studs. What is the easiest (only?) way to get a single Cat-5 cable
to its destination in this wall, a few feet off the floor?
Do these types of walls have fire blocking? Or other obstacles that would
require busting through the sheet rock to run the cable?
Thanks,

Please, no "Go Google this" replies. I wouldn't
ask a question here if I hadn't done that already.
