In my current setup, the ethernet cat6 runs from my closet(where all wiring originates) to different parts of the house. I know which wires runs from my closet to study room through attic. I want to know if i can cut that wire and add a spitter or maybe poe switch in attic to run seperate ethernet line to poe camera?

You can add a switch, but you cannot splice.

As long as you have another open POE port on your switch, use this. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08JS45B89/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It is a POE Combiner Splitter Adapter to run 2 IP POE Cameras on 1 single cable
