Built-in Switch on Satellite

I just purchased the RBK50 Orbi, and I noticed the satellite has a four port switch on it. Currently that satellite is connected wirelessly, but I do have one cable coming from my home switch that connects to it.

 

If I connected that cable (gig) to that switch, could I then connected a few other devices via network cables from that satellite switch - thus giving all of my hardware gig connections via cabling? The satellite is placed at the other end of the house for better wireless coverage, but if I can leveage the switch, too, then that would be great.
