Some hubs have one of the ports designated for connecting to another
hub and may have a switch selecting normal or crossover mode. Some
even have 2 ports marked with the same number - one normal the other
crossover. Hubs of this type can be connected with a straight
through patch cable. Note that if both hubs have this option it needs
only to be configured/selected on one of them.

Good luck

Ethernet (LAN) hub are becoming more likely old legacy (disappearing)
devices. These are usually replaced by switches and most newer
switches can automatically detect when a port is connected to a hub/
switch. This seems to then allow the port to become cross-over. A
lot of switches that have this feature usually describe it as MDX.
