Don't like the Poe injector, should TL-WA1200 work with Poe Splitter instead?

I have an active Poe switch, which this AP does NOT power from.
I've realised that there is a big difference betw ACTIVE & PASSIVE Poe.
This WiFi AP does power successfully from the included passive Poe injector.
IF I want to power the AP from my Poe switch (instead of the injector), theoretically the AP should work if powered by a Poe Splitter, which would take the Poe signal fr the switch, split it back to data & DC power.
The TL-WA1201 is 12v. So any 12v Poe Splitter should work.
Could someone reply if I'm completely wrong & misunderstanding something?
Yes, there are PoE splitters that can power the TL-WA1201 from a IEEE802.3 af/at 48V PoE switch.
It will power the TL-WA1201 with 12v/2A and connect to its gigabit ethernet port:
