Green always equals angled. APC Angled polished connector. Makes the reflected photons not make it back into the core. Like a directional couple for RF. APC=Angled Polished Connector or perhaps it is “Angle”. That sounds more correct. APC=Green
I have heard SC is Subscriber Connection So SC-APC To me SC= big LC= Small There are also LC-APC Small green. Not sure who uses those. LC = Longhaul Connector (just things people say, no idea if it is rooted in fact. Good mnemonic though). UPC= Universal Polished Connector UPC = Blue The end of the connector is straight and flat. Like two cleaved fibers before you hit the splice button. Like what you find in a mechanical connector. Not sure why UPCs are used at all since APC seems to be technologically superior. You can have 4 versions LC-UPC LC-APC SC-UPC SC-APC Again, SC=big, LC=small UPC=blue APC=green What I normally see is blue small (LC-UPC) on everything not related to subscribers.

They screwed us on our optitap premade as well. See if you can find a DLX field install kit for ~$10. We got field install optitap for $10 and will splice SC/APC on the other end (in which case you'd splice LC-UPC). For the record drop cables with LC is pretty weird and UPC is really really weird. Don't expect Commscope to get any better on lead times or accurate ship dates.
