Do multiple Ethernet wall ports degrade Ethernet connection? (alien.top)

Say I have an Ethernet cable running from router to wall port 1, from 1 to wall port 2, from 2 to wall port 3, and then finally to my computer from wall port 3. Does that affect the connection in any way or degrade it?

Every connection takes 10 meters off the maximum run as a rule of thumb. If every cable is terminated perfectly, and every jack exactly to spec, and all the stars are aligned perfectly, it shouldn’t do anything.
