Hello @DarrenOC So the issue turned out to be a CSCswbug 18530. The workaround we used is below, since adding the fix we haven't had any other disconnection.

Regarding to the show tech of switch2, the information was incomplete. However, we think that this device is showing similar logs related to the Gig1/0/14 interface.
According to these logs, these devices could be affected by CSCsw18530 bug. In the following link you can find more details:

In this case, the following are the suggested workarounds to try to solve this issue. If the first workaround doesn’t work, please continue with the next one and so on:
- To use a longer cable (>50ft) between devices seems to fix the issue in most cases.
- Apply the following commands in the Gig1/0/22 – SW3 and Gig1/0/14 – SW2 interfaces:
#conf term
(config)#int x/y/z
(config-if)#power inline port 2x-mode
(config-if)#shut
(config-if)#no shut
(config)#exit
- Configure static power these interfaces (Gig1/0/22 and Gig1/0/14):
#conf t
(config)#interface x/y/z
(config-if)#power inline static max 30000
(config-if)#shut
(config-if)#no shut
(config)#exit
