I understand that such a link can be achieved with suitable adaptors
through the ring main. Has anyone here done this who can offer
advice/guidance as the best and most economical way to go about it?

Frankly it doesn't work

That has not been my experience at all. Although I will concede I have
only done a few dozen installs with them.

I found them particularly helpful for the backhaul connections to wifi
access points. (in fact some have the WAPs built in).

Also good for drop shipping to non techy users who suddenly have found
they need to get data to their home office, or that the new smart TV
won't stream reliably in the bedroom. Needless to say I used loads of
them at the start of lockdown!
