Does Cat6 manufacturer matter? (alien.top)

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.
