In the past, I have pulled the carpet away from the baseboards, and drilled in a hole between the baseboards and the floor. When you put the carpet back, it just looks like a cable coming out of the floor. On at least one occassion, I have just left it like that, since the cable was hidden by a desk or something. On a ouple of others, I bought an external outlet box and a faceplate with keystone connectors to mount on the wall.
Does that help?
