Hey /diy/, I'm a newbie in need of your help. Internet guy just glued this wire to my ceiling, I'd like to put in in the bracket with the other wires. I don't know how though. Do I just drill into the bracket thing and push the wire in, drill into it in the other room and pull it out where I need it?
Thanks for the help. Pic related, where I want the wire to go in

The room ends here but I suppose the bracket goes into the wall in the other room

So the wire would just continue here

And it would end here on the top left side of the picture where it should come out
Is that bracket pained over? It looks like so.
It should open one way or another (usually top just clips on) but if it is painted over you are risking ripping paint of wall. Also old brackets become more fragile and break easly.
Don't drill in it if you don't know are there wires in. Maybe use pic related and put small second bracket? If no try to open old one in one corner where it is not visible to much then push wire inside and close again

WTF?
Did he just glue it to the wall with a hot glue gun?

just fyi if you want to run cables together in an enclosure like this usually every cable has to be insulated to the rating of the highest voltage cable present.
if you put it in with mains wires it should be rated to mains insulation
Run wiring through the walls. Anything less is lazy.
that wire in OP pic looks like the old school telephone wire (with 4 smaller wires (red, green, yellow and black) inside the grey covering)... if that's what it is then there is hardly any voltage running through it.

OP here. Would it be a good idea to get an electrician to add an electrical outlet for the router like pic related? Then, I'd just need to shorten the internet cable and only install one bracket to hide the wire. It would be probably more expensive but more aesthetically pleasing as I see it but there may be issues I don't think about. What do you guys think?
