That's just the first issue. As someone else mentioned, you also short
all the pins together when you crimp the RJ45 on. Are there plastic or
ceramic crimpers?

I guess you could buy ceramic scissors like these:

Gotta be careful. If you cut across all the pairs at the same time, you
will definitely short the output of the POE injector. Newer ones might
be able to deal with that as long as the short doesn't last too long.
However, you can usually cut each color separately without doing any
harm. The challenge is getting them the same length.

Is it possible to cut into a POE injected Cat5/6 run without frying

I think I've done it on regular Ethernet without causing damage to
the Ethernet port, but maybe I'm pushing it with that too?
I know the safest way is to unplug the Ethernet cable, then do the
splice/work/end on it, then plug it back in, but would be really nice
if I didn't have to bother the home owner when fixing/splicing a live
run to the outside of the house.
