This can be true, but most manufactures now just produce two tolerances
that are for low cost and higher cost...
They do make SC APC/UPC Male to Female adapters as well.

The SCA ones have a higher tolerance then the SCU SM ones which have a
higher tolerance then the MM ones. The MM ones will work with a
plastic sleeve where the APC ones need a ceramic sleeve. TLDR; green
ones will work with everything. Blue ones mostly work with APC but
sometimes not. Brown ones can be pretty crappy.

So, I just want to verify an assumption I've made. I know the
difference between UPC and APC connectors. You can't use one with
the other and have it work out well. I get that. My question has
to do with adapters (couplers like an SC to SC adapter) that you
would have on, say, a patch panel. Is there any difference between
an APC SC to SC adapter and a UPC SC to SC adapter, other than the
color? My assumption is that they're just sleeves to mate the two
connectors, and they're agnostic as to whether those connectors
are APC or UPC. In other words, I'm thinking they're identical and
the different colors exist solely for easy identification to keep
people from mistakenly plugging in the wrong connector. So my
question comes down to this: Will an actual, functional problem
result from connecting two UPC connectors using an APC (green) SC
to SC adapter?
