It's slightly more complicated, but that's what a hub does. As Max shows above, they can be found quite cheaply

A crimper will cost as much as a hub. If I were you, I'd buy a hub and a few shorter cables. Then you can duct tape the broken connector into the hub, and run the shorter cables to your laptop and wherever else you want.
edit: if Jay has the crimper and supplies, that's a no cost solution for you
