I have this exact Huawei as my failover internet connection, works perfectly except doesn't do PoE so I need to have a stupid wall-wart for it.

You can buy PoE splitters that will take ethernet in and give you ethernet + some power supply out. Looks like you need 12V/2A and a cursory search throws up a few options.

Yea, I have my Philips Hue hub powered via Poe and an adapter along with a few other devices that use straight up USB-C or micro-USB

I need to figure out if the 5G box can be powered like that too
