How do I connect to LAN's

[nikhmail]

I have a 16 port switch with one free slot and a 8 pin switch also with one free slot.
How can i connect these two switches.
The distance between these two is around 100m.

Do I need a repeater?

Also Can anyone please tell me the exact color coding for connecting RJ-45 pin to a CAT5 cable?
