Yes, unless you have your own fiber Ethernet card. The most common sort of Ethernet cards you will normally see use UTP/RJ45 connections. If you have a typical Ethernet card of this sort, then yes, you will need to have one of the fiber media converters to use ResNet. However, if your computer has an Ethernet card which supports a fiberoptic connection, you should be able to connect directly to the fiber jack and do not need to use a converter in this case.
