Pretty much any HDMI cable, it is trivial to pass a DD 5.1 signal over any HDMI cable. Is there something wrong with the one that comes with the Beam for you?

The alternative is to extend the S/PDIF from the beamer. 15 metres could be a bit of a stretch without amplification. Optical may not work, but coax might.

I’ve used 45 foot Blue Jeans TOSLINK cables between PLAYBAR and a projector. 

I have no experience with this set, but it’s another approach.
