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!

Personally I'd chop out a square of plasterboard that spanned both sides
of the noggin and cut a rebate into the front side rather than a hole.

Then the cables are are less than 50 mm from the surface.....

Even if you managed to get a 2m drill extension and successfully drilled
a hole without the drill wandering off course you'll have a hell of a
job poking cable through a hole in a noggin half way down a PB wall.

I have two holes in the top wall plate, one for light and the other for
viewing... a stiff rod is all I need....

Cut an access hole, get the cable in and fix a support baton to the top
and bottom edges of your access hole, re-fit and attach the PB square,
fill the edge gap and paint; you'll probably still end up doing this
when you've wasted a day trying to drill a hole anyway.
