ProfiShark 1G+
Portable Gigabit Ethernet TAP with GPS and Advanced Timestamp Synchronisation
ProfiShark 1G+ is designed for high-fidelity network traffic capture with advanced timestamping capabilities. It combines all features of ProfiShark 1G with GPS/GLONASS input for UTC timestamping and PPS input/output for timestamp synchronisation. The portable network TAP is non-intrusive and undetectable by the network, preserving original traffic integrity. Powered by USB 3.0, ProfiShark 1G+ captures high-fidelity network traffic with 8 nanosecond hardware timestamping and supports packets of all sizes and types. Captured traffic can be analysed with Wireshark or any network analyser. The device features fail-safe in-line or out-of-band deployment with PoE passthrough, plus packet slicing, real-time statistics, and high-performance disk capture through ProfiShark Manager.
