In fibreoptic cable, signals are separated by

  • active optic filter.
  • optic signal amplifier.
  • passive optic filter.

Explanation from PART66Online

Wavelength division multiplexing puts each signal on its own wavelength of light in the same fibre. At the far end, wavelength-selective filters such as thin-film interference filters or diffraction gratings pass one band and reflect the rest, routing each signal to its own receiver. These filters are passive: they contain no electronics and need no power. An amplifier raises every wavelength together and cannot separate them.
