Actually as it is a balanced TX and RX hum should not be a problem, The major problem is, as the cable length increases, compensating for the increasing loss with increasing frequency. This is typically done by Pre-equalisation at the Tx end and Post-equalising at the Rx end. However, it is not just a case of tweeking to get a flat frequency response at the output of the Rx, you also have to keep the Group Delay within accepable limits.
