You always have options. You just have to decide what is more difficult:

* moving the phone/devices somewhere else. Easiest solution.
* having an electrician pull AC power to the location, then use DC
power bricks or PoE switch
* having a data cable person pull more ethernet to the location

If you already have one ethernet cable that managed to make that 50-75
foot run, then clearly it can be done, and a professional could even
use that cable to yank three more along the same run, and then you're
all set.
