Just so it's clear to others, that would not result in powering the "PoE" port on the radio as the Ethernet pigtails on those cables do not have power on the pins, the Ethernet cable you connect to the female Ethernet jack on the cable does.
I think the idea is to take the power for the Radio and split it with something like this:

You then plug one of the male plugs directly into the radio, and the second male plug into:
https://www.amazon.com/iCreatin-Pass.../dp/B00NRHNPUA

The male Ethernet connector goes into the RoboRio, and you use a CAT5 or CAT6 cable to connect the female end into the radio.

Thus, the radio receives power directly, and through the Ethernet cable.
