Just pulled this out to take this picture. You should be able to figure out all you need to know about wiring this one from this. You don't need to use the same wiring pattern I did - do it however you want. The important thing is that the switching lug (the middle one) is only used on the jacks with the arrows pointing to them.
Wire - anything will do. Get a bunch of 22 gauge multistrand hook up wire from radio shack - it'll do. I'm not sure what the stuff I used was - it was cheap from a local electronics store.

I purchased a Full Kit Multiple from Bridechamber and it came with the
panel and enough sockets. I didn't know the full kit wouldn't come
with wire and instructions needed to complete the module! Obviously,
because I'm a noobie, right? This will be the first module I ever put
together. I'm going to assume it's the most simple module possible. I
don't know the first thing about how a socket works. I don't know how
a socket is oriented nor do I know what each metal arm is for.
First thing's first, I need wire. What wire do you recommend? Do you
have a mouser part number for it?
Next thing I need to understand is how the jack is oriented and what
metal arms need to be connected together.
Any kind of documentation for completing a multiple would be very
helpful! I didn't find it at dragonflyvalley.com. Was i not looking
hard enough?
Hint #1 from DragonFlyValley.com -

∗That must be how the jacks are supposed to be oriented!
Hint #2 from DragonFlyValley.com -
http://www.dragonflyalley.com/images/MOTM300/300-31-syncInOut4B.jpg
∗When oriented like above, the diagonal arm is ground, the horizontal
arm is tip, the vertical arm... no idea! But I know what it's NOT.
PLEASE HELP A NOOBIE :'(
