I need to drill and install sat cable at my new house, but the walls are filled with Rockwool sheets, Can I just drill through this or do I need a special tool or something. Also will the cable feed through ok?

thanks for any help!

Should not be a problem m8, just make sure the wall at the other side is clear.

Feeding the cable through can be a pain sometimes, so what I do is get a garden cane push that through then tape the cable to the cane and pull cane back through wall hey presto cable comes too.

Drill through and leave the bit poking out of the wall then, using insulation tape, attatch a length of cable. Pull the drill bit back through, undo the cable and attatch the main cable. Go back inside and pull all the cable through. Job's a goodin.
