Well heck, why didn't you say so!
We thought you wanted to do a complete bow to stern wiring project.
Since you mentioned you wanted to do this the easiest way possible,
get a 50' or 100' patch cord, and connect an MDI (uplink) port on
one of your hubs to a MDIX (regular) on the other.
If you don't have an MDI port, then you have a couple of options:
1) If one of your hubs has an AUI port (db15, like a PC game port),
just get a transceiver.
2) Make the patch cord into a crossover by cutting off one end
and putting on a new plug with a different wire order.
