Coax over Ethernet

I have CAT6 running to all rooms so was wondering if I could buy/make a converter to send the 2 Sky coax cables over one CAT6 cable, would this work on one CAT6 or would I need to use 2 CAT6 (one for each coax).

I have mini boxes but want the main box in the other room for 4K content.
