PoE can go up to 70W according to wikipedia. A few years ago, a cheap NUC would draw ~50W with heavy loads. And they would have probably been more capable than a Pi5, GPIO excluded (and you can add this to anything with USB. You might even be able to do something with a low-speed M2 port.)
You said “can I” not “how do I” and the answer was “probably yes” instead of “here’s how” so if you wanted instructions you should have framed your question as such
The question was “Can I run a mini-PC via PoE?”. The answer was Yes.
I naively assumed you knew how things worked and were unsure about the power capacity. If you wanted a detailed walkthrough on how to plug things together, you should’ve asked. And I would not have bothered.

Ok, so what PoE splitter do I use?
You want me to do your shopping list?
You made the post without bringing receipts.
It’s like asking “how do I bake a chocolate cake” and you said “go get ingredients from the store”. Not helpful.

Ok.
How can I run a mini pc using PoE?
Buy something that works off the shelf from shenzen like

Or research and build something more custom

I know how things works, sure. Do you? Because I’m asking for proof on how to do it and you’re not providing any answers.
