Real brief....
A computer-to-hub cable is run striaght through. Pin 1 to pin 1, etc.
A hub-to-hub or computer-to-computer cable has its pairs swapped, so that
tx+ on one end goes to rx+ on the other, same for tx-.
A hub link port has its pairs swapped so that you can use a regular
hub-to-computer cable for hub-to-hub links. That way, administrators don't
have to keep separate hub-to-hub cables around. Since you can't tell the
difference except by lableing them (and who has time for that? :-), this is
a major aid in network administration.
