If this will do it, it would be a cheap and easy fix. https://www.amazon.com/BeElion-Passive-Injector-Splitter-Connector/dp/B01HMNJHII/
I've been planning something similar to run a raspberry pi in a location away from a power outlet. Since I don't need hardly any power, the 12V will be just fine even with a long ethernet cord. (Though I'm not going to be all that long, really, just 20ft or so.) It sounds like your use case might be simple enough that something like this would do the trick. (In case it's not clear, one of these goes on each end of the ethernet cable, and then you plug the power pack into the female end and plug the male end into your device, and you're golden.)
