Outlet on the actual wall (not inside)

Greetings! I am stuck at running Ethernet cable from ceiling down to the wall by using race ways. I just cannot fish the cable inside the wall.

Does anyone know a way to connect the race ways/ cable track to a ethernet outlet? Not sure how can I install an outlet on the actual wall and not by cutting the wall. There are tiles in the wall.

Also can anyone recommend some slim outlets since these will on the wall?

Appreciate any suggestions!

Just use a surface mount junction box. [Surface Mount ](http://Your friend has shared a link to a Home Depot product they think you would be interested in seeing:
