Hole in wall - sound insulation destroyed?

May 27, 2006 1 Replies

I want to pierce a wall so a network cable can go through to the next room. Will I ruin the sound insulation that way? How much of a problem will it be? Will I be able to repair the sound insulation afterwards?


No, a *small* hole mostly filled with a cable will not be a problem.

I would suggest that two wall mounted connection plates, joined by a short piece of cable within the wall, is neater. The hole can be smaller as it only needs to be the diameter of the cable, not cable plus plug.
