[CA] Wiring for EC 200 autohelm

[davidbrownBat06]

I'm installing an EV 200 autopilot on a 35' sailboat. The P70s Pilot controller will be mounted on a pod above the wheel. Can I use the longer seatalk "Backbone" cable connected to the controller, run it down the binnacle to ACU underneath the deck. And when I connect the EV1 sensor, does it matter which ends of the "T" connector goes where?
The way the instructions read, I need to connect a series of the shorter white seatalk cables with the 5 way connectors.

But all the cables should be interchangeable with the connectors and it should make no difference which port on the connector goes where. Correct??
