Run just the power pairs of the POE cable through a relay of the automation system.

Has anyone seen any Cat5 splice box or enclosure where I could insert a 22/2 wire that would run into relay and cut power to WAP when not needed?
I do have several of those that I've never got a chance to play with yet:
