If you¹re not going through the walls and don¹t need boxes or plates, to make it even easier, you can just buy a 100-foot (or whatever you need) cable and run it through the ceiling/floor. The only downside is that the holes need to be a slightly bigger in diameter to accommodate the connector ends. The only thing you¹d be paying an electrician for is to drill holes and snake wires.
