Yep.  It's called a 10BASET twisted-pair hub.  You can get them for
about $30, and it eliminates just about all the problems you see with coax.

As Matt Dillon mentioned in another reply, the best thing to do in the long
run is to rip out all the 10BASE2 (thin-net) coax and switch to CAT-5 twisted
pair wiring and hubs.  That alone will make your ethernet more reliable.
