I'm not a good person

I have a quick question about my network setup in my apartment.

I currently have a Spectrum modem/router setup. The previous tenants had Verizon, and there is a cat 5e cable already routed from the bedroom, and spliced into an unused jack with a single open port on the other end of the apartment. I want to run a wired connection into the bedroom from my Spectrum modem for work.

Can I safely plug my modem into the wall jack and run the wired connection that way, or do I need to run an additional cable from my modem into the bedroom? It would be much easier to use the existing cable than to route a new one into the bedroom. I just want to check before I start plugging things into random jacks.
