Will not demage, but will not work too.

Nope, you have it the wrong way around. May work (with significant signal loss; there are users online who just whack and it still works for them), but will potentially damage the TP.

One thing that should be noted is that APC and UPC connectors cannot and should not be mated. Not only does it cause poor performance since the fiber cores will not touch, but it can also destroy both connectors. The last thing you want to do is cause permanent transmitter damage—especially with higher-cost singlemode equipment.
