Applications and Optical Link Design
Use this module for equipment interconnection over the specified single-mode fiber plant, including enterprise backbone, campus, metro or data-center interconnect links according to its rated distance. Confirm that both ends use the same optical standard and wavelength plan, and allow for connector, splice and patch-panel loss within the stated power budget.
Before deployment, check the host port type, supported data rate and firmware requirements. The 800G interface configuration must match the remote equipment; sharing a Single-port OSFP IHS/Finned Top housing alone does not make two transceiver types interoperable.
Before commissioning, measure the complete single-mode channel against the stated budget for 500m. Inspect every MPO-16/APC connection and record diagnostic power where supported. Both ends must agree on rate, wavelength and optical standard.
Cisco Compatibility and Factory Testing
Factory verification starts with the expected OSFP-800G-DR8P identity and finishes with an operating host link. EEPROM data, diagnostic visibility and the stated optical parameters are assessed together. Equipment model, hardware revision and software release can be reviewed before dispatch where platform behavior is uncertain.
Optical Acceptance, Diagnostics and Handling
For this model, the specified transmit-power range is -2.9~4.0dBm; the stated optical power budget is 3dB. A sound acceptance record includes link state, diagnostic temperature, supply voltage and transmit or receive levels where the host exposes them. Compare the readings with the stated ranges rather than treating any received light as proof of adequate margin. Persistent alarms or borderline values should trigger an end-face and complete-channel inspection. Before every insertion, keep dust caps in place until the patch lead is ready, avoid touching the optical end face and use an appropriate inspection and cleaning procedure. Do not look into an active optical interface.
Structured Fiber Pathways and Serviceability
Treat the transceiver as part of the complete channel. Follow the intended patch-panel route, maintain bend control and leave service access around the port. Confirm connector polish and fiber type at every mated pair; a documented service allowance is preferable to excess slack concealed inside a rack. For this model, the principal parameters are data rate 850Gbps (8x 106.25Gbps), wavelength 1310nm, rated reach 500m.
Ordering Information
Quote HT part number OSFP800-DR8-B1 together with OEM reference OSFP-800G-DR8P and quantity. Add the host model and software release when pre-order verification is required. Neutral labels, customer packaging and project-specific compatibility review are available on request.
Shipping and Lead Time
Standard configurations normally ship within one to three working days, with production lead times confirmed for larger quantities. International courier, air freight and sea freight are available; customer courier accounts and nominated forwarders are accepted.
Quality Assurance and Packaging
Before packing, the module receives interface inspection, identification and link checks. Protective packaging avoids pressure on the connector and latch. Customer references, rack groups and project packing lists can be added for volume orders.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this an original Cisco transceiver?
No. It is an HT-manufactured compatible alternative for equipment that specifies OSFP-800G-DR8P, not an original Cisco-branded module.
Which fiber and connector are required?
Use MPO-16/APC with SMF. The specified maximum reach is 500m, subject to fiber quality and total link loss.
Can it be mixed with another wavelength or reach version?
Only when the two ends share the same optical standard, wavelength plan and supported data rate. Check the exact part numbers and link budget rather than relying only on the module form factor.
