Important: When using a 1770-XG connector kit, droplines will have an
electrical connector attached to one end of the dropline and a plug connector
soldered to the other end. Trunkline segments will have a plug connector

other end.
Here is a brief outline of the steps you will follow as you solder a jack or plug
