ProfiShark 10G
Portable High-Speed Network TAP for 1G and 10G Fibre and Copper Networks
ProfiShark 10G is a powerful, versatile portable network TAP designed for field engineers to capture high-fidelity traffic data from 1G and 10G networks. It accepts 1G fibre, 10G fibre, 1G copper, and 10G copper SFPs, providing complete visibility into both copper and fibre networks. Powered by USB 3.0, ProfiShark 10G captures network traffic with 5 nanosecond hardware timestamping for accurate performance metrics. It supports both in-line and out-of-band deployment modes. Hardware filters and packet slicing operate at wire speed (20 Gbps) for efficient data capture. Captured packets can be analysed with Wireshark or any network analyser through the ProfiShark Manager application featuring packet slicing, statistics, and high-performance disk capture capabilities.
