This may be a stupid question, but wouldn't it be easier to draw it like
this?:

1       1a------------. ,------------1a 8        1,2 computer->hub
                       X            
2       1b------------' `------------1b 7

3       2a----.     ,----------------2a 6        3,6 hub->computer
               X   X            
4       3a------\-/---------, .------3a 5
                 X           X
5       3b------/-\---------' `------3b 4
               X   X
