Can you connect a single fiber media converter to a switch?

Recently took over a network, one of the sites is using 2 pairs of media converters for some longer runs to pole mounted cameras. My question is, do I need to maintain a media converter on both ends of the run, or since I have available fiber ports on my switch can I connect the near side right into the switch and leave the media converter on the far side?

Its not a high priority endpoint so I can just give it a try, but I need to order some multimode patch cables and SFPs. Wanted to ask before I spent the money. Switches are Cisco btw.

Thank you!
