Yes, in fact, that is a common way to set up a network.

Switch
both hubs and switch can act as a center of a star topology
Star Topology
A star topology is a method of connecting several computers to one another in a network. The cables used in a star topology are twisted pair cables or coaxial cables. Coaxial cables would be the cheapest solution.
a switch
The most common LAN topology is that of a "star." In a star topology, each computer, or "node", is connected to a central hub. This is more reliable than a more classical "ring" topology, because a node failing will not bring down the entire network. A bus topology is arguably more reliable, but has poorer performance.

Several variations of Ethernet exist. At some moment, a bus topology was quite common, but nowadays, a star or extended star - with a hub or switch at the center of the star - is more common.Several variations of Ethernet exist.

pc switch and all that shnit
A network star topology has all the clients connect to a central device, such as a hub or switch. The clients look like points of a star, hence the term star topology.
