Troubleshooting
Module not recognized by Arista device
Verify that the device is an Arista Networks switch or router. Ensure the module is fully seated in the SFP+ slot. Try a different SFP+ slot on the device. If issues persist, contact StarTech.com support.
No network link established
Check that the fiber optic cable is correctly connected to both the module and the remote device. Ensure the fiber cable is not damaged and is the correct type (Multi Mode Fiber) for the module. Verify the configuration on both ends of the link.
Intermittent connectivity or packet loss
Inspect the LC connectors for dirt or damage. Clean the fiber optic cable ends if necessary. Ensure the fiber cable is within the 300-meter distance limit for Multi Mode Fiber. Check for potential electromagnetic interference if the cable runs near power sources.
Slow data transfer speeds
Confirm that both the module and the connected device are operating at 10 Gbps. Review the network configuration to ensure no bottlenecks are present. Test with a different module or cable if possible.
