Unless the wall of the room in question is over 8 feet, there is
probably no obstruction in it except insulation. A wire fish tape
(snake) should go through it easily
Aye, they are indeed eight foot walls, but there is a firebreak at
the midpoint at about four feet up.

That's unusual for walls that aren't over 8 feet. If that's the case,
you'll have to notch the sheetrock and drill the cat
If you have the working space, a long flex drill could get you through the
firestop, or a shorter one might be angledfrom the box hole to the outside of
the wall and back to the inside wall at the bottom so as to angle through the
bottom footer.
