Can I connect SINGLE MODE SFP (GLC-LH-SM =) to MULTIMODE fiber which has ST connector on the side of Patch

Can I connect SINGLE MODE SFP (GLC-LH-SM =) to cord fiber MULTIMODE which has ST connector on the other side (patch panel). What is the loss of this set?

The short answer is Yes.

The contours of the links up to 550mtrs on multimode fiber SFP datasheet .  You will need to use a Mode conditioning Patch Cord (CMCP) If your installed MMF is OM1 or OM2 rated, kernel 62.5 microns or 50 microns (use MMF cable connection if your fiber installed is OM3/OM4. You can buy MCPCs with hybrid connectors; LC at one end and ST on the other; available at many reputable suppliers.  My link to a hybrid CMCP is 62.5 microns MMF.

I hope this helps.
