I have AT&T fiber. The house has 3 ethernet ports in various rooms. I want to run a new cable from the modem to an unfinished part of the basement.

To keep it simple (don’t want to cut/terminate my own cable) I’m getting a female/female wall plate.

My question is, “Does the ethernet cable manufacturer matter or can I choose pretty much any one and close it up in the wall when we finish that part of the basement?”

Thanks for any cable recommendations.

    Does this mean that you want to use a patch cable behind the wall?

    If so, make sure it’s CMR (riser/between floors) or CM (not between floors) rated.
