+        """
+        Create a "wire"/"waveguide" and traveling between the ports `portspec_src` and
+        `portspec_dst`, and `plug` it into both (or just the source port).
+
+        Only unambiguous scenarios are allowed:
+            - Straight connector between facing ports
+            - Single 90 degree bend
+            - Jog between facing ports
+                (jog is done as late as possible, i.e. only 2 L-shaped segments are used)
+
+        By default, the destination's `pytpe` will be used as the `out_ptype` for the
+        wire, and the `portspec_dst` will be plugged (i.e. removed).
+
+        Args:
+            portspec_src: The name of the starting port into which the wire will be plugged.
+            portspec_dst: The name of the destination port.
+            tool_port_names: The names of the ports on the generated pattern. It is unlikely
+                that you will need to change these. The first port is the input (to be
+                connected to `portspec`).
+            out_ptype: Passed to the pathing tool in order to specify the desired port type
+                to be generated at the destination end. If `None` (default), the destination
+                port's `ptype` will be used.
+
+        Returns:
+            self
+
+        Raises:
+            PortError if either port does not have a specified rotation.
+            BuildError if and invalid port config is encountered:
+                - Non-manhattan ports
+                - U-bend
