Hi,

Can anyone tell me if I can use OM1 50/125 patch leads with OM2 fibre cable?

Thanks,

Matt.
 
You can, for short runs, but I highly recommend against it.

For one, its out of spec; you will get degraded performance.
For two, its sets bad precedence of doing the wrong thing for expediency/cost sake.
