I have been looking for something which I thought would be easy to find, but apparently not:

HDMI Wall-plate Cat5 extender (transmitter unit) powered by a switch via a second cat5 cable. So on one side you would have an HDMI Cat5 extender mounted in the wall, and powered by a second cat5 line, connected to the switch. The first cat5 line would extend the video signal to a non-wallplate HDMI cat5 receiver, positioned at a projector in the same room.

All the Wallplate HDMI/Cat5 extenders require a power supply sticking out of the front. All the PoE-powered HDMI/Cat5 extenders do not come in a wallplate configuration.

Can someone direct me to what I need, or explain a better way to do this that doesn't require such a device? Thanks!

XTP is a full HDBaseT implementation. DTP is a proprietary, less expensive version. There are multiple wallplate options. The multi-input plates can be set to auto-switch. Both can be powered by the receive end. Neither are cheap. ;)

Also requires shielded cat-X which is not cheap nor is is likely to be already installed anywhere

I have used the Monoprice hdmi over dual cat5e extenders a bunch. Im not sure I follow your request fully but these are a basic set of wall plate extenders that dont require any additional power source. They are priced super low compared to other options. I probably have about 10 or so installed with different length runs and have not had any issues. I would still be hesitant to install them in a mission critical application. Guess just the price makes me skeptical.
