Dear june,
I am not really sure what you are looking for here other then to inform you that it is possible to do this with a straight patch cord as long as the 2nd switch has an uplink option (most likely a single button) that allows a second switch to be chained with one dedicated port to act as the input for the switch. If the switch does not have an uplink option then a crossover patch cord would be required. to link the switches.
Sincerely,
Joseph Golan, RCDD
