Newbie Question - Ethernet between rooms

[Sfuller]

Hi,

Apologies if this has been covered but wonder if anyone can assist?

 

I live in a newish build flat. I have a bedroom and living room which I believe is separated by a plasterboard wall.

 

I want to install a couple of ethernet cables through the wall to the switch in the living room.

 

It probably is a silly question but can you simply cut a hole either side of the wall and fit a faceplate.

 

Is this a really bad way of doing it or not recommended for any rules or regulations?

 

Regards,

Simon

Nothing wrong with doing that

Yes, just be aware of what might be in the wall before drilling holes in it.

Be aware that back-to-back holes for faceplates might compromise sound proofing.
