Most singlemode SC/PC adapters are blue and SC/APC adapters are green. &lt;br/&gt;<br /> This allows for quick identification, especially when used in distribution panels so the end-user inserts the correct connector type. Often users cannot see the connector plugged in on the backside of the panels, therefore the color indicates the SC connector that’s required. &lt;br/&gt;<br /> SC connectors correspond with the adapter; most singlemode SC/APC connectors have green outer shells while singlemode SC/PC connectors have blue outer shells.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;<br /> <br /> SC/APC adapters use premium zirconia split sleeves to achieve the tightest tolerance possible providing critical alignment of the two angle polished ferrules. Whether it is a singlemode SC/PC or SC/APC connector be sure to choose a zirconia (ceramic) sleeve material rather than a phosphor bronze or polymer. The zirconia alignment sleeves have a tighter tolerance and better elasticity, maintaining tight tolerances after several matings.</div>
