Split the cable ~6" up with the two connectors staggered so they can't short. Install the short piece on the hub. Set it up so the wire from the hub runs parallel to the blades and the connection is on the outside rear of the fork leg.

Compared to a direct connection there's much less slack to catch on something, it's easier to connect, there's no stress on the hub connection when you unplug it, and it looks better.
This ought to make wheel removal easier as well if I understand this procedure correctly. If I'm wrong in assuming that please let me know.

Thanks
