It's all already there in wall plates. It's the mass of speaker and coax that I want to clean up. Right now it's all dumping out of one of these. Would rather terminate behind the walls and patch to the components.

That's what most people end up doing. You can always send HDMI over Cat 5/6. And thank you for the question. It reminded me I had an unaccounted for Cat run so just checked it and it was tucked up in my ceiling so I have another option.
