(OP)
I need to convert my fiber to electrical - how do I do this?
I have a single mode cable coming in and I just need to convert the signal so I can connect it to some other hardware. I can figure out the connectors later, but there's got to be a black box that does this right??

What exactly is coming in? What exactly are you wanting out?

Fiber
Two types of fiber optical communications commonly used are multi-mode and single-mode. Single-mode applies to long runs, multiple km applications. Multi-mode applies to runs within a facility. Several connector types such as SC and ST are common.
Copper
Some equipment is only capable of 10base or slow Ethernet. Most Ethernet operates at 100 Mb or 100base. Unless you know the requirements, consider a 10/100 base Ethernet device on the copper side. Faster speeds such as 1 Gb and 10 Gb exist both on the copper and especially the fiber side. When you see the specifications such as 10 or 100 base the next character applies to the connection. Any IT type person can direct you here. Most applications use an RJ-45 connector but coaxial connectors also exist.
There are several web tutorials on Ethernet including the fiber and copper media. Have a good Google.
