Power orbi RBS850 satelite using poe splitter

I consider to buy the orbi RBK852 but there is no power outlet on the location where I want to place the satelite. Can I use a poe (power over ethernet) injector and a poe splitter (like the tplinkPoE-150S/TL-POE10R) to power this satelite? Can somebody tell me what size of 12v plug is needed to feed the orbi's?

My understanding is the RBS850's power supply is 12v 3.5amp.
so 42 watt. The tplink tl-poe10r only supplies Output: 12VDC 1A, 9VDC 1A, 5VDC 2A selectable.
so only 1 amp at 12v. Probably not enough to power it and be stable.
