Chances are that the receiver on the 850nm switch will accept an 820nm signal. To be certain, you should look at the spectral width of the transmitter and the range of frequencies the receiver will accept. As long as you aren't pushing the attenuation limitations of the fiber, I don't think there will be an issue.
