Back up a second. The word "coupler" in fiber would describe a passive
device similar to what would be called a tap or a multiplexer in RF. A
coupler takes an input fiber and divides the power among multiple
outputs. The device that joins two fiber connectors together is a
mating sleeve. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber_optic_coupler)
Multi mode mating sleeves have a looser tolerance on the concentricity
of the ring that holds the ferrules. They will /probably /work with
single mode, but you will get more attenuation than if you bought the
single mode version.
You can absolutely use single mode mating sleeves with multi mode
fiber. The other way around adds attenuation.

the couplers are passive, other that having the wrong color they will work fine.
if you are out of time, then choices are going to be pretty limited

Yes, thats what I want. Trying to find something I can next day air.
Found this but its multimode and I need single or will it matter?

I think you are making this a lot more difficult than it needs to be for your
self.
You have a few options:-
For low port density, you can get a 1u keystone panel and add single fiber SC-SC
keystone jacks to make your install nice and neat.
Plug your incoming cables to the back side of the keystone plug, and use a
standard SC-LC patch cable on the front.

Anyone know of a 1u panel these will snap into?

Fiberstore.com would be where I would look. Maybe monoprice as well.

You'll probably just need to get a rack mount panel with SC/SC couplers
Thats conclusion I have come too. Been search ebay trying to find
something like that with no luck. Do you know where to find something
like that?

I use some SC SFPs, but they are bidi-only. There isn't enough room in

form factor for two SC ports. You'll probably just need to get a rack

Is there an SFP module for Mikrotik that has dual SC connectors for
our PTP fibers?
Probably not so is there a short LC to SC adapter pigtail that mounts
in something like a 1u panel? LC plugs into 1u panel and short
pigtail LC connectors that plug is SFP module in Mikrotik.
Just to make it neat and reliable in our rack space.
Right now we are using these Antaira media converters in a rack mount
but it gives us no diagnostics besides looking at the lights and thats
even difficult when 100 miles away. Think an SFP plugged right in
Mikrotik CCR would tell us more.
