ETAP-2003 10/100/1000Base-T Gigabit Network TAP

Great network tap for security/IT support use. Unlike many similar products this one preserves the MAC addresses of packets which is important for some applications. It's small and light enough just to keep in the work bag and USB power means no need to carry a separate power brick.It's not cheap, but good value if you need to do network snooping on a regular basis.

Very easy to use and in very heavy testing didn’t drop any packets.

The best key is usb power, it works very well. Poe pass through also. I've used it with notebook, light weight all.

Does what it says on the tin

Very expensive but if you need to maintain gb speed whilst you copy network traffic this is the only one I have seen so far in this price rage. If you want cheaper then it's 100 mb one or span ports. Span ports comes with limitation as sometimes not all traffic gets copied over. With this you get exact copy without the impacting your traffic. Its good but could be at least under 100 pounds

Praktisches Tool zur Netzwerk-Analyse, Spannungsversorgung via USB funzt auch, was den Einsatz im Feld stark vereinfacht

Déçu

was used to carrying around old dumb switches to do packet captures and they usually die as they were old to begin with and the final straw was one dying in the middle of client down situation.....so in looking for another replacement stumbled across this unit had never heard of the vendor before but they had some big names on their site for what that's worth but getting back to the product in replacing an old hub I this rig can fulfill another roll as a replacement switch should a client lose one in addition to its primary roll and I thought the price was reasonable I do not use it constantly but when I have used it to do some traces it has worked as advertised

Not bad

As a security consultant, I was carrying an old metal 10/100 hub with its power supply, in order to easily tap a workstation or server without having access to a managed switch with mirror capabilities.I found this light switch (in its plastic version), powered by USB (it works on my laptop), with a TAP port (as I needed), Gigabit (at last), and the PoE support could be useful one day...Moreover, as I am in Monte-Carlo (Monaco, south-east of France), I received this item more quickly than announced :)
