If one of the hubs has an uplink port, just use a regular straight through cable between an uplink port on one hub to a regular port on the other one. The color sequencing for a straight through cable is the same at both ends:

White/orange
Orange
White/green
Blue
White/blue
Green
White/brown
Brown

If neither hub has an uplink port you'll need a crossover cable. One end will be as above and the other will be as follows:

White/green
Green
White/orange
Blue
White/blue
Orange
White/brown
Brown

There is no color standardization for the outside jacket for any particular cable type or function. The outer jacket color is largely a matter of personal choice. Where I work we use blue for network connections, yellow for phone lines, red for crossover cabling, green for serial links and purple for anything else that uses CAT5e or CAT6 cabling.

You will only need a Cat5 Ethernet cable or the Cat6 Ethernet cable

The Cat5 Cable is Blue (Here in Australia) or Grey depends on were you go really.

The Cat6 Cable is Black (Here in Australia) or another colour im yet to see.

Go to your local computer store and pick up some Cat5 or Cat6 Cable from them.

The Cross Over cables are yellow
