Designed for industrial networks, the ProfiShark 100M is a powerful and efficient network TAP and troubleshooter. With full passive connectivity to the network and PoE pass-through, the ProfiShark 100M provides fail-safe access to your network. The tool is optimized to capture both regular Ethernet and real-time industrial Ethernet traffic without losing any packets.
The ProfiShark 100M is an ultra-compact and easy-to-use device that monitors all seven OSI layers. It captures and aggregates full-duplex 10/100 traffic across the entire network link.
ProfiShark 100M is a straightforward solution and a versatile tool for everyday network troubleshooting, ideally suited for analyzing conventional IP networks and industrial network protocols.
Quick Facts on Package LevelsProfiShark enables complete data capture in a portable form. This means you can quickly deploy anywhere and capture the traffic data you need without disrupting your production network.
Get tracking documents you can trust
To help optimize your analytical workflow and reduce disk storage consumption, ProfiShark offers packet slicing to ensure you get only actionable data.
Get transparent and non-intrusive access
Capture network data without compromising security or performance. The ProfiShark and host PC will not appear as nodes on the network. The network connection will be maintained even if the ProfiShark's power is disconnected. The ProfiShark is set to pass-through PoE.
Get the desired timestamp accuracy
Accurate timestamps are essential for analyzing performance metrics such as TCP, TCP stream throughput, latency and jitter. ProfiShark 100M provides hardware timestamps with 8ns accuracy.
Place ProfiShark in the line of packets to be analyzed and use the ProfiShark Manager GUI to control hardware and packet capture settings.
Captures all bytes from layer 1 to layer 7 with high quality timestamps regardless of packet rate.
Start capturing directly to disk without external software, instant capture in Wireshark, long term traffic capture on NAS.
ProfiShark is supported on all major operating system options on the market today: Linux, Windows and macOS.
All ProfiShark models can be configured in inline mode or out-of-band to monitor traffic from SPAN/mirror ports or external TAPs. The ProfiShark 100M features passive connection to the network via PoE pass-through. By design, this makes it fail-safe.
ProfiShark is typically used in conjunction with Wireshark for protocol analysis, but can be used in conjunction with most traffic analyzers.
The monitored network is physically isolated (diode) from the host to avoid any risk of injection or MITM attacks through the device.
ProfiShark can be powered via USB 3-port or 5V DC input.
The ProfiShark Long-Term Capture solution was designed with flexibility in mind. Combined with a NAS that can be tailored to your specific needs, the Long-Term Capture feature makes it easy to capture intermittent problems in behavior. Solution Benefits:
