Do you mean plug an SFP into one end with fiber and then copper out the other end? Or are you talking about a MUX solution that can put a bunch of lambdas on a single fiber?

Nope I know there are some Multi Wavelength Media Converter or Multible Media Converter who get coupled together.

Usually Media Converter are nothing but switches with an SFP and a RJ45 port. You just need a multimode sfp module compatible with the converter.

What do you actually need or are you just curious? Such optical splitters exist but they are not typically used in standard networks, more of a long range (very long) thing where you send multiple wavelengths down a single glass fibre run or in PON/GPON. What you'd more often come across is just a multi core fibre cable that you split out at each end, MTP or MPO.

A friend is argue around about that.

What you post are one Cable with Multiple Fiber what I mean is lets say 3 Media Converter with different Wavelength route all cable into one.

Then you're talking about a MUX or CWDM/DWDM solution like this:

Which takes a bunch of fiber light and colors it onto a single fiber

An 8 channel MUX like that would be a few hundred bucks for something that's doing gigabit but when you start moving towards multiple 100gb lambdas and up then the price really sky rockets to the tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars.
