For that you'll need to look at the documentation that comes with the device, but most modern switches and (afaik) hubs do have autosensing uplink ports. If they're not, you'll need a crossover cable to string between the floors. On my Linksys Etherfast 5-port switch right here on my desk, I use a regular cable...the uplink port is autosensing.
