Default How to drill a hole in a noggin half way down a studpartition wall?

Right, I need to drop some networking and coaxial cables down from the
loft into a bedroom.

Drilling a hole in the ceiling wall plate is easy from the loft side to
pass said cables through.

half way down the wall is a noggin.

I wish to mount the wall socket lower down than this noggin and run the
cables to the wall socket.

I dont really want to cut a hole in the PB to access said noggin to
drill a through hole.

Is there such a thing as a 1.5m m long drill bit extender I can place
between my wood boring bit and the electric drill?

being able to do this would be a time and a making good time saver!

I once made a long drill for a similar reason out of a long threaded rod.
(Just what I had to hand). Did a bit of crude heating and hammering to
make a simple spear point (a bit wider than the shaft) and ground some
sharp edges on to the spear tip.

Very inefficient but perfectly adequate to drill through softwood.
