HDMI Cable with Ethernet Support Question

[iceblitzed]

hello

I am looking to buy a hdmi cable to connect my laptop to a tv.

I am looking at this one in specific : http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-High-Speed-HDMI-Cable-Supports/dp/B00870ZHCQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1404940398&sr=1-1&keywords=hdmi+basics

however my laptop ( a lenovo thinkpad x220) has a displayport and an ethernet port. will this hdmi cable work with my laptop if I plug one end into the ethernet port? I cant tell if it would work from the user manual.

If you have a DiplayPort on your Laptop and HDMI on your monitor, you need something like this: http://www.amazon.com/niceEshop-Quality-DisplayPort-Cable-Displayport/dp/B00DBW00ZE/ref=sr_1_22?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1404941282&sr=1-22&keywords=dp+to+hdmi
