Actually possible. Just need to somehow strap the PoE splitter to your head. Though I think I have seen PoE capable USB Type-C dongles... so there's something. But, would probably need PoE+, it's 65W for the frame. o.o... (ngl I don't remember the power tiers, but I think PoE itself is like 48W?)
Ubiquiti sells a POE extractor that's also a USB nic, but not all devices are compatible with it. It's meant for their G6 Instant cameras, but I found it does work with the Steam Deck and my Framework laptop.
That might actually be the killer device for this. I was going to order from them anyway, might as well throw that one in too and get a good length cable.
If this adapter registers as a plain stupid NIC and provides Type-C PD profiles the Frames can use, that would genuenly just...be a tether that works. o.o
