Default In line puch down Krone coupler for Cat5E - any "gotchas"?

I'm planning to move the main router across the room to a new location.

The obvious options are a patch cable round the skirting board from the
current wall socket or extending the Cat5E wiring under the floor and
moving the socket.

Any obvious "gotchas" in using a punch down coupler such as

Looks pretty straight forward.

You only need to connect 2 pairs if it is CAT5E ethernet.

I suspect, even a cheapo choc-block would work.

There is of course the wireless option :-)
