So I've been looking for a USB-C to power-over-ethernet (POE) adapter that I can use for my iPad Air and MBP. For anyone who doesn't know, POE is where the ethernet cable runs from a device (usually a networking switch) that provides power "over" the ethernet cable, thus negating need for a separate power adapter for the computer or tablet/phone that's connected to the other end of the ethernet cable.

Does anyone know of any USB-C to POE adapters on the market?
Essentially I'm looking for this (that's in stock and has a shorter USB-C cable):

Thank you.

I have had a good experience with my NOVOO USB-C Hub that has USB 3.0. The 8 in 1 has an Ethernet port. I'm not sure if this is what you are trying to find, but I have had mine for more than a year and I have had a good experience with it.

Essentially I’m looking for an adapter with a female Ethernet port on one end and a USB-C 3.1 male on the other. ...Ethernet in —> USB-C out —> iPad Air. The Ethernet cable both serves as a data (internet) source and power source for my iPad Air.
