Default Threading a cable in ceiling void from below

It looks as though I'm going to have to thread a thin, so very flexible,
cable into the ceiling void from below and then out again a couple of
metres further across. I've used a straightened coat hanger in similar
circumstances before but the current stock won't straighten to the
required distance.

I can't get at it from above, but at least the joists run in the right
direction for me.


Tie a thread to a mouse and coax it across to the other hole with
cheese. Tie a string to the thread, pull it through and then the cable.

So what's the best way to do it?


(Perhaps that's not the *best* way to do it.)
