+. Solder 7-wire cables to 2 Ethernet sockets, and press-fit them into the lid. It's best to make a cable tie and only solder a separate cable to the board so wires won't get loose and touch each other with time. Make sure you have all your VCC, GND, SCL, SDA, etc wires connected in ties and only solder 1 wire from each tie to the board for best results.
