What’s a sky broadband conversion kit 1

I'm being upgraded on 15 September. Been on Sky q for years. I've been sent a 'conversion kit 1'. It's actually just 2 leads My hub is already connected. What do I do with these leads? No explanation came with them or is in the blurb they've messaged about.

@Shaunoxenhope when the conversion to full fibre happens the engineer will fit a new unit called an ONT which connects to your existing hub by one of the leads. There should be a leaflet in the packaging explaining this.

It's an updgrade to 'part fibre'. No leaflet other than one for connecting a new hub came. I'm assuming I won't need a new hub.

@Shaunoxenhope thst is unusual but if you arexstaying on oartial fibre you wont need the cables as your hub will remain connected to a phone socket. However your landline phone will plug into the hub rather than the phone soccket. More here https://www.sky.com/help/articles/set-up-hub-which-sky-hub-do-you-have
