How to pull network cable through interior wall?

I have a fiber outlet in a bedroom and want to run a network cable from this room to an open area outside the room (to an access point in the ceiling). So I need to get the cable through the interior wall between the bedroom and the target outside, which means the cable must go through the wall. This is something I haven't done before, but I think I should be able to manage it myself. The hole should just be a few centimeters through the interior wall, not run inside the wall or anything like that. I would greatly appreciate suggestions on how to do this as neatly and discreetly as possible; it's primarily the process of running it through the wall that I'm unsure about. My current thought: Drill a hole straight through the wall, a bit below the ceiling. Saw off a piece of VP-rör that is as long as the wall's thickness (and with the diameter of the drilled hole) The cable goes through the hole/VP-rör and out to the ceiling on the other side. Is there a smart way to make this as neat as possible? Or a completely different solution that might work?

VP pipe 16mm and cover plate for door frame should fit. A small hole in the cover plate and a slit to put it on the cable.

Or you can install a cable duct to cover the hole.
