IO Ninja Ethernet Tap

Ethernet Tap is an affordable sniffer for monitoring Ethernet traffic flowing through a single Ethernet connection. To monitor Ethernet traffic, an Ethernet cable that was initially connecting a switch (hub) to an Ethernet device is replaced by two Ethernet cables and the Ethernet Tap is inserted between them, in what is known as a "wedge" fashion. The Tap passes the Ethernet traffic through with a delay equal to about 5.2uS.

The Ethernet Tap must be used with the Ethernet Tap plugin of IO Ninja software.
