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.
What technique do you use to rewire a cable without a
crimping tool? Do you cut the cable and re-solder/insulate
the connections of the wires? My cables all have non-removable
pins.
Back in the bad old days, it was common to have cross over
adapters for RS232 equipment. But I can't recall having
seen a cross over adapter for the 100 Base T stuff.
