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.
Yes I mean running a separate power cable for the barrel jack, and they are both powered off the VRM. You will know you did it correctly when you can unplug the barrel jack or the Ethernet cable and the radio still maintains power as long as one of them is still connected.
