Is there any reason why that wouldn't work down the SWA and through the
CU in the studio?

Both plugin so you have something like:

House ring MCB/RCD CU RCD SWA CU MCB/RCD Studio ring.

It's the MCB/RCDs that contain series coils that will mess things up.
These things work best on the same ring, noticable degredation across
rings on the same CU. It might work but don't expect 200 Mbps... Not
that you get that through put anyway, that's the raw rate and
possibly both ways added together. I notice that the ethernet side is
100 Mbps max so what is the point of a 200 Mbps link? Marketing pah!

Not to mention the amount of RF crap the spray all over the Shortwave
Bands.

You can run two mains plug setups and bridge them with an ethernet cable
somewhere.

But running cat 5 aint that hard.
remember if you use ethernet switches, you can run pretty long cables,
or even fibre.
