One end is a multimode pigtail the other end is a single-mode pigtail

Single-mode fiber pigtails typically utilize OS1 or OS2 fibers, with a single-mode connector terminated on one end. The single-mode pigtail is capable of a transmission distance of up to 4km. 5/125-micron or 50/125-micron multi-mode. Executive Summary: A fiber optic pigtail is one of the most commonly specified yet least understood components in structure...
