Just tossing this in here.  I don't claim to know either way.

On the current project I'm working on all of the panels are LC-APC. This 
seems to have not been a problem for our DWDM vendor, who we have been 
working very closely with, and I assume know about our use of APC.
So far our PMD testing has come back clear.
