>What is a "patch cable"?  I want to network three computers together (two
of which are now conected with a cross over cable).  I know I am going to
need a hub and cat 5 "straight through" cable for each pc to the hub.  When
I went to PC Connections site to order the cable ( I want 50ft lengths,
ready made) I could only find patch cable and cross over cable.  Is patch
cable what I want?
