Ask that mentor to quote the rule which prohibits it. Then have him read the second paragraph in the blue box following <R43>:
Note that this prohibits using any POE Injector device to power the
radio, but does not prohibit using any PASSIVE CONDUCTORS to
inject the VRM power into an Ethernet cable plugged into the radio port
labeled “18-24v POE”.
We took a short Ethernet "port saver", exposed the wires in the middle, and spliced in a power pigtail to go to the VRM.
