So my office and my bedroom are beside each other. My router is in my office and I'm wanting to run Ethernet into my bedroom. My question is. Can i use a female to female wall jack like this

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CSJZKCW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_tbdKBbDYSBWXR
So i would have one Ethernet cable from the router hooked into the first wall jack in my office. Then a Ethernet cable connecting the first wall jack with the 2nd wall jack in my bedroom in the wall. Then a Ethernet cable from the wall jack in my bedroom to a switch

Is there any problems with this? I really need Ethernet in my bedroom but i don't want to just punch a open hole in the wall and run a Straight Ethernet cable. Any advice?

It will work fine. Maybe if you were at 100 meter limit of ethernet it might not work because of the added resistance. It is no different than a patch panel that is used in corporate installs but you have a short cable in the wall rather than long runs.
Yes that will work but it might be cheaper to buy a couple plates and rj45 keystones from your local hardware store. You could then just cut a short ethenet cable and punch both ends down. Most have little plastic punchdown tools. Still what you propose will work fine.
 


They have single ports too i just did not realize that i had 2 ports selected. So as far as connection speeds go there would be nothing wrong by doing female to female. and have a cable in the wall connecting the two wall jacks together? I had a guy telling me it would mess things up and it would not work properly. i did not see any issue with it as it is still only one connection.
