HDMI ARC over Ethernet (CAT6) to Sonos AMP

This is my setup:
1 - TVs on wall in room.
2 - Ceiling Speakers in the same room
3 - Ceiling speakers are connected to Sonos AMP
4 - Sonos AMP is in an electrical cupboard away from the room (around 20m)
5 - CAT6 cables running from the electrical cupboard to connection points behind the TV

I would like to play sound from the TV to the ceiling speakers where, the volume is controlled using the standard TV Remote.

Does anyone have experience successfully using HDMI ARC over Ethernet to achieve this?

Something like:
TV HDMI-ARC Port -> HDMI Cable -> HDMI:CAT 6 Convertor -> CAT 6 Cable -> CAT6:HDMI Convertor ->HDMI Cable ->Sonos AMP.

What are the HDMI:CAT 6 convertors called? and what are the best brands to go for?

Thanks in advance for any help with this.

Only potential challenge to that setup if I am understanding it correctly is that you would need to use the Sonos app to control the sound on the TV rather than a tv remote. One of the benefits of using ARC is being able to use a single TV remote.
