Specifications

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 Twin-port OSFP IHS/Finned Top housing alone does not make two transceiver types interoperable.

The single-mode link budget should include fiber attenuation, connectors, splices and panels over the intended 100m route. Keep the Dual MTP/MPO-12 APC interface clean and match the remote optical standard. Consider receiver overload as well as insufficient power on short links.

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.

Mixed-Vendor Network Operation

A mixed-vendor optical link should be documented at both ends, not treated as one generic connection. Confirm which OEM identity each host expects and whether both ends use the same wavelength plan and optical standard. Related links locate equivalent hardware, but brand-specific identification must still be selected independently. For this model, the principal parameters are data rate 850Gbps (8x 106.25Gbps), wavelength 1310nm, rated reach 100m.

Cisco Compatibility and Factory Testing

Compatibility testing for OSFP-DR8L-800G 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

When ordering, specify OSFP-DR8L-800G, OSFP-DR8L-800G, quantity and intended host platform. Project labels can repeat these details for receiving and asset records. Neutral labels, customer packaging and project-specific compatibility review are available on request.

Quality Assurance and Packaging

Each OSFP-DR8L-800G compatible module is inspected, powered up and functionally checked before protective packing. Dust caps and individual trays shield the interface during transport. Customer references, rack groups and project packing lists can be added for volume orders.
