Found a nice adapter that goes inside an electrical box, has 120 VAC input and has a micro USB outlet for mounting a tablet to a wall.
This adapter from PoE Texas provides an easy solution for powering a wall mounted tablet (they even provided two Wago connectors). I installed a "new-work" electrical box at the desired location and ran a standard Romex cable from a nearby outlet. Luckily I had access to the back of the wall, but one could still easily do this if an outlet was below the wall mount's location and no horizontal studs were in the way.
I ordered a 3-D printed tablet mount from smarthomemount.com for my Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+. They provide a ribbon cable that has an angled micro USB connector on one end (for the tablet), and a standard USB port for the other end. The ribbon cable is meant to be run in the horizontal recessed track on the rear panel.
Since the power adapter was a micro USB (and I needed a standard USB for the above ribbon cable), I ordered a BCLink 90 degree adapter.
Photos below show the process and final result. This gives a clean solution to the problem of how to provide power to a wall mounted tablet and not have to snake a DC cable down a wall and then somehow power the adapter to an outlet at the other end.
I'm pretty happy with the end result. The cost was $17 for the power adapter, $10 for the 90 degree USB adapter, and $55 for the tablet mount (plus of course the rework box and Romex cable).
