The 2 (Outside) incoming wires go to pins 2 & 5.

I use alarm cable, 4 core, to supply all my extension sockets. I made a drawing of the layout & used 1 colour cable, per pin connector. I doesn`t matter what colours you use as long as they all connect to the same pins on the ext sockets.

If you want to do it "Correctly" you will need some telephone cable with the correct colours.

If you look at the wiring diagram, it does show you where to fit the cables.
