Need help wall-mounting a tablet

Hey all,

I'm looking to wallmount my Samsung Tab4 tablet but can't seem to find the right components to do it.

I already have an recessed plug for power (see image below) but cannot find anything small enough to plug in and power up my tablet.

I already figured out that I would need to purchase a slim flat micro usb cable to power up the tablet and I plan on 3d printing the wall mount. The only thing that I have not yet been able to find is a usb adapter that is small enough to fit in this recessed area. Anyone have any suggestions?

You could could replace the outlet with one that has an integrated usb socket

Look for a recessed outlet box, then add your own outlet that has USB. I found a recessed box on Amazon from a company called Arlington, but I'm sure you could find them locally at a home improvement store near you.

What if you DIDN'T plug straight into the outlet? If you have a small cord to a hub that is mounted behind or around the tablet?

Here is a product that could work on Amazon: https://a.co/d/da8WbFB .

Of course it does, damn Amazon. Good to know I can strip out most of the junk in the URL in the future. I just knew that the share button gave a shorter link.

For sure! I use URLCheck from fdroid, it works pretty well

On desktop I think it's CleanURL

This is what I was thinking of as well. In the picture i included in the original post I have a red rectangle block. This is where I intend to mount the tablets. This means that I don't have all that much space to add this hub behind it.
