I have a fiberglas rod. The space between the floor and the ceiling of the lower level has a lot of crossbeams.
I often use a kit consisting of several threaded fiberglass rods and various attachments for the end. Those crossmembers can be a bitch to navigate! I remodel homes, and tell people in advance I may need to cut the ceiling open here and there to run wires, so far no one complained.
The house I've been working in this past year...I ran wire all over the place, installed lots of lights...the people rarely use them, lol. The man is obsessed with 'saving energy', even tho the lites are low-wattage LEDs.
I'm almost done at this point, I have two more ethernet lines to run from the front to the patch panel, and one to run to an adjacent room. Instead of drilling through walls for that last one, I'm going to just do it with surface conduit and call it a day, since I can do it through the adjoining closets.
But yeah, navigating the ceiling is a pain.
