Most modern hubs have a port (usually the last, or rightmost, port) with either two connectors (one of which is crossed internally) or a switch to enable or disable crossing. With these hubs, it doesn't matter if the cable is crossed or not. You just plug in the cable, and if the link light doesn't come on, you flip the switch. All Accton hubs (at least the 16, 16i and 16mi), to mention just one brand, have this functionality. -- Noone else has a .sig like this one.
