Eh? I think not. Even a cheap crimping tool will cost
about $30 USD. Cheaper by far to buy a router or switch (I
wouldn't get a hub; a router is preferable to a switch)
with 4 or more ports for $40 USD, and then be expandable.
You don't need a crimper to rewire a cable. And if you did,
$30 is still cheaper than $40 (and a lot more than I paid
for mine, too). if your aim is to be expandable, fine: my
advice was to save money in the short-term, nothing more.
