I was curious about that; because I couldn't be bothered to do the math myself, I looked up the max bitrate of multichannel PCM. Found this at https://www.videohelp.com/hd https://www.videohelp.com/hd : "Linear PCM up to 9 channels (Max 27.648 Mbit/s)" Cat5 or higher (especially only 20 feet) would easily handle that.
