"A range of UTP cross-over patch cables suitable for connecting two
network cards directly to create a simple network, also suitable for
connecting two hubs together when uplink ports are not available."


Theres even a maplin store in swansea now.


Failing that go buy the bits and make your own, an RJ45 crimp tool can
be had for a tenner, the connectors about 50p each and cable 50p a
meter, and the wiring diagram is easily available on the net.
