Normally i connect to the console port with a RJ45 -> Serial cable. (Using a SerialtoUSB adapter if im in my notebook).
But for curiosity… Is there any way to connect to a console port using a RJ45-RJ45 cable pluging it in my Ethernet Port, instead of the USB one?

Short answer: No.
Longer answer: It's an RS-232 serial interface, not an Ethernet interface.
Side note: I've just checked a Cisco serial cable and confirmed that it's an 8P8C connector; but RJ45 is a different beast entirely.
