Each event is 8-10 spurts of packet loss precisely 2 seconds apart.
From one of these events to the next it can be anywhere from a few
minutes to over an hour.
I've changed the SFP on one end, but the other end is 100m up a tower.
I'll certainly get this fixed one way or another, but I'm stunned that
neither switch reports any problem.

Are your light levels OK? Can you just swap the SFP and see if that
changes it? How often are the errors?

fiber connection. I know the loss doesn't occur before this point
but
does occur after it, so I know where it's happening but neither
interface reports any errors. It's just frustrating because I don't
understand one of these Ethernet devices is dropping packets without
reporting any sort of error at all.
Is it possible a switch passes a frame to an SFP and the SFP has some
internal error causing a dropped frame, but that the switch is now
oblivious to the error because it happened in the electronics of the
SFP? These are 8+ years old Maxxwave SFP's.
