chain drops in from the top, magnet tool through the box, pull the chain, attach cat5 from pull box, pull up into attic. If you're lucky you can chase through the same hole as the coax.
The "wet noodle and retriever" is perfect for this stuff. This has saved me so much work and cussing and yelling.

Don't use the chain to pull the wire. Use it to pull a pull string in which THEN does the wire pull. The chain is meant to be very light and flexible so it doesn't get hung up while being retrieved.
