Cisco OSFP-800G-DR8P Compatible 800G Single-port OSFP IHS/Finned Top DR8 Transceiver Module
Built for hosts recognizing OSFP-800G-DR8P, this HT-manufactured Single-port OSFP IHS/Finned Top module delivers 800G transmission at 1310nm. Its rated reach is 500m, with MPO-16/APC as the physical interface. The specifications and engineering guidance below support procurement teams match an equipment parts list to a clearly defined optical product, while keeping HT manufacture separate from the OEM cross-reference.

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.
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. During commissioning, record the host diagnostic readings after the link has stabilized and compare them with those limits. DOM values are useful operational indicators, but they do not replace calibrated optical measurements when a link is marginal. Investigate unexpected loss through connector inspection, cleaning and a channel measurement before replacing the module. 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.
Procurement and Asset Identification
A useful purchase order identifies the host platform, expected OEM code and optical standard separately. This prevents a module with the same housing but another wavelength, reach or identification profile from being substituted. For mixed deployments, keep one order line per OEM reference and reconcile each received unit with its intended port. For this model, the principal parameters are data rate 850Gbps (8x 106.25Gbps), wavelength 1310nm, rated reach 500m.
Cisco Compatibility and Factory Testing
Compatibility testing for OSFP-800G-DR8P combines identification with a live link and available transmit, receive and alarm information. Connector condition is inspected separately. Equipment model, hardware revision and software release can be reviewed before dispatch where platform behavior is uncertain.
Ordering Information
Use OSFP-800G-DR8P as the compatibility cross-reference and OSFP800-DR8-B1 as the HT ordering identity. Keep other reaches or wavelength directions on separate order lines. Neutral labels, customer packaging and project-specific compatibility review are available on request.
Quality Assurance and Packaging
Quality control covers the optical or electrical interface, host identification and operating link. The verified unit is then individually protected and cartoned. 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.
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.
