Rancho Technology in CA has a single-end to differential converter.  If
you buy two, connecting the differential side of each board with your fifty
foot cable, it just might work. Their number is (714) 987-3966.

We've used this product to extend a single-end bus but did not do a lot
of testing to see how reliable it was.  We've also use this product to
attach a single-end tape to a differential host.
