CAN Jaguar Wiring with RoboRIO

We are looking into using our team's old Jaguars this year, and are thinking of switching over to CAN. With the new dedicated CAN port on the RoboRIO, I'm a little confused about the wiring.

It seems that previously, a CAN bus would contain 4 wires (+, 2 CAN, and Ground) which would connect the 6P4C plugs on the Jags.

Now the CAN signal out of the RoboRIO comes on just the 2 CAN lines. Will we need to just plug these two into the 6P4C plug without any + and ground lines, or do those need to come from the PDP for the first Jag in the line?

Thanks
-J
