[c-nsp] SC to LC converter

[David Hubbard]

I've had the (mis)fortune to be stuck with needing to do the same thing
in a pinch and have actually used all three of the following SC-LC
converters from Amazon:

SC-LC single mode but big ugly adapter that blocks the adjacent slots:

VWOX0 

OM4 SC-LC dongle:

MMLQ

OM1 SC-LC dongle:

K51S

None of my runs were anywhere near the length limit and were point to
point so I did not run into loss issues.

Cheapest alternative is get an SC-to-SC coupler and an SC-to-LC jumper
and cross your fingers on the added loss.

Otherwise you're looking at re-termination and tolerating a Unicam quick
fix or a pigtail requiring a splice.
