I once robbed some SC couplers out of one of our AT&T hand-offs panel to
fix a problem. Gotta do what ya gotta do.
You get more precise alignment with the blue guys, but if all you can
get are the grey ones, and it's only a few feet or a couple hundred feet
like up a tower, they'll work fine for single-mode.

I think you're simply suggesting an SC coupler and SC to LC patch, right?

be aware.. the color of the connectors do have a purpose and a
meaning...
if you are working with Multimode fiber, stay with grey
connectors (orange or aqua cable)
if you are working with Singlemode fiber, stay with blue
connectors (yellow cable)
if your fibercable has green ends, then do the green end /green
connector...

*Subject: *[AFMUG] Fiber end problem - dealing with SC
High level: I need to turn these SC into copper ports.
Right now I'm using an SC media converter and wanting to do
another pair. It's going to be a week or longer to get
another SC media converter.
My next thought was to use some sort of SC to LC adapters - is
there anything I can find at a store nearby that would work
here (I'm near Dayton/Columbus/Cincinnati/Indy) and pick up
tomorrow possibly?
Any other ideas/suggestions?
