SFPs have a wideband receive. They listen to anything sent to them, not just a 
specific channel. 

Also, yes, they have passive splitters called OADMs.

Subject: [AFMUG] Dumb Fiber MUX question 

Can I use a splitter instead of a Mux/Demux? 

I'm just thinking if I have color coded SFP's that only talk and listen 
on their own wavelengths, and assuming I'm ok with the losses from 
splitters, then do I actually need a Mux? 

I'm looking at a scenario where I could have a Mux at one end of a 
fiber, but I don't have electric at the point where I'd like to split it 
back into two connections. That's what got me wondering. 

Thanks, 
Adam
