Power and Network Cables Through Internal Brick Wall...

[gordon.hunter]

Hello everyone.

I have brick built cupboard in my living room. Within it there is a recess that is shelved and is a convenient home for my home IT - NAS, network switch etc etc.

In my living room I have a number of devices... TV, Sky Q Mini, PS4, Google Nest WIFI router etc... some of which needs power / network cables to go through a brick wall.

The previous owner crudely drilled a hole from living room through into cupboard for the passage of cables - best illustrated by the attached pictures.

It is not easy to pass cables through the present hole.

How can I improve upon this for a neater look and easier passage of cables.

Kind regards, Gordon

I squared off the hole with Makita multi-tool and then used Starrett hole saw kit to widen hole through wall (from both sides). I have not lined it yet however the cables are passing much easier.
