If you really want to dot the I's and cross the t's, where you drill the
hole through the floor to the living space,inside or outside of the wall,
( not the garage sheetrock) use firestop caulking

I need to run a TV cable from the inside of my garage through the finished
ceiling in the garage (sheetrock), into the attic.

I understand that there is a problem with making holes in walls or
ceilings
in the garage, leading to living quarters or to the attic.

How can I stay within code while running this cable through the ceiling in
my garage? Do I need special fittings or can I just knock a hole in the
ceiling, run the cable and patch up the hole around the cable with
patching
compound?

Thank you
