I recently purchased a M4 Mac mini with 10gb ethernet port. I am connecting this to a Ubiquiti Aggregation switch using a 10gb Ubiquiti Transceiver using Cat6 cables. The Mac mini constantly disconnects from the ethernet connection via ethernet. The Mac mini is used as a media server and does not have a monitor, keyboard or mouse direct connected. I access via multiple Apple TV's and control using an Intel MacBook Pro. When connected via 1gb to another Ubiquiti Switch it will stay connected. Any help would be appreciated.
Got a tip for us?

How many simultaneous streams do you have going at once on this media server?
Surely a 1Gb connection is more than enough to never get maxed out.....especially if streaming remotely as internet speed will then more likely be the bottleneck.
I have an older 2018 Mac mini that is used as a plex media server and is connected by 1Gb cat6 and never had an issue....although it is very rare to have more than 2 or 3 streams going at any one time...local or remotely.
