You can connect the switch after the RBR router, yes. 

There are some known problems with switches with GREEN ethernet features. So you may see problems if you connect the RBS to this switch.

You can try this switch and see how it works for you. It may work for you if you don't connect the RBS to this switch. Non managed, non green ethernet switches are recommended.
