Pixhawk2 cable confusion

Hi,

(Context - I have been given a Pixhawk2 as a gift, I have never built a drone or anything RC before, so really being thrown in the deep end, apologies if these are obvious questions)

I have purchased a bunch of components, including a GPS (RadioLink U-blox NEO-M8N GPS SE100 UBX-M8030) and telem system (YKS 3DR Radio Telemetry Kit 915Mhz), which are both listed as pixhawk compatible but the cables appear to be the wrong connections for the pixhawk.

Questions:

1. I am now thinking that the ports between the pixhawk and pixhawk2 have changed, is this correct?
2. Can I remove the connectors from the cables supplied with the pixhawk2 and put them on the telem and GPS connectors? I.e. is the wire layout and configuration the same as the pixhawk1, just the connector which is different?

Thanks.... this has been a steep learning curve, spent about 6 hours yesterday trying to learn how to soulder
