Having trouble getting a link on my fiber connection between 2 Luxul AMS 4426 switches.

I'm using wire path Fiber, LC connectors, and LC SFP adapters.

My fiber passes the light test, but when plugged into the switch, I get no glow on the other end.

Any thoughts?

Is it because the wire path SFP connectors are not SFP+?

Those are 10 gig stack ports. Are you trying to use it stacked ?

It's possible those fiber modules do not work. Are you using 2 strands?

Is one side reversed? I did an Araknis setup and had to make sure fiber was reversed so the cables were flipped from one switch to the next. Worked fine.

pretty sure my problem is these dam Araknis SFP Modules. they say they are 10G but they wont call it SFP+. Having Luxul next day air there modules to see if that's my problem.

This is referred to as polarity. Light is sent on one fiber and received on the other. You can normally pull the LC connectors out of the boot and swap the polarity on one side.

Exactly. Took 30 seconds to try and worked perfectly.
