Is there a minimum length for a single mode fiber patch cable?

 

I have been using 1 meter cables and they are almost always too long, I'm
talking about going between routers and switches in a rack, stuff like that.
I see that FS sells 0.5 meter cables, but I saw somewhere like maybe on
Reddit someone claiming there was a minimum length.  Given SM fiber and LR
optics, I don't see how 0.5 or 1.0 meter would be different they are both
essentially zero length.

 

Probably there's some kind of cable tray or cable management solution I
could be using but I've never liked such things.
