Crossover
A crossover cable is used to connect a Hub or Switch to another Hub or Switch - or a PC to another PC.
Either through the use of switch, hub, or an access point for wireless communications.
I have a PC, laptop and xbox running and i have a modem and router downstairs with a wire leading upstairs then a netgear high speed hub splitting my connection 3 ways to my PC etc , but i don't think u need a hub if your router has multiple ethernet slots.
A hub or switch must be used to connect 3 PCs together. Two PCs can be connected using a single crossover cable.

A Hub or a Switch
Either use a crossover cable or connect them using a hub, switch, or router.
Yes. A hub will be one giant collision domain for that entire switch port. So if its an 8 port hub and you have 8 devices connected to it that collision domain will have 8 devices in it.
To connect a PC to a switch hub using a patch panel, first, run an Ethernet cable from the PC's network port to a designated port on the patch panel. Then, use another Ethernet cable to connect the corresponding port on the patch panel to a port on the switch hub. Ensure that both the patch panel and switch are properly powered and configured. This setup allows for organized cable management and easier network troubleshooting.
