I actually expect it to work, based on multiple reports of similar POE setups working over multi segments of 100m each.
We are aiming for GigE speeds end-to-end, which is certainly achievable. The only real question is the PoE, but I think it too will be fine. If not, there is a passive PoE injector included with the AP, and there is 120VAC power available at that point (the far end).
My understanding is that PoE already "doubles up" the conductors for power purposes!

POE treats each pair as a single conductor, and can use either the two data pairs or the two spare pairs to carry electrical current.
Apparently my recollection and working knowledge about PoE was both fuzzy and out of date. Last time I messed with it was years ago, when things were half proprietary and incompatible gear was not uncommon.
Of course, a standardized standard for PoE equipment would be incomplete unless there were
two standards
… a new standard was introduced by the IEEE to increase the available power: 802.3at, or POE Plus.
