I have honestly never heard of such a thing. I'm about 80% sure that the ethernet jack you are looking at is for the person presenting to use a network/internet/powerpoint connection while doing their presentation, not sound.

There are such things as digital snakes with a single ethernet line, but then there are large breakout boxes on either end.

What you CAN do, since line jacks (1/4") are NOT for old microphones... they are for LINE connections (OMG... IMAGINE THAT!!), is to use some adapters and plug in there, or use a direct-box (DI) and use the microphone jack (XLR).
