ProfiShark 10G+
1G/10G Troubleshooter with Advanced Timestamping –
The Ultimate Portable TAP
ProfiShark 10G+ is a powerful, versatile portable network TAP, with advanced timestamping capabilities. It is a portable network TAP, with additional GPS/GLONASS input for UTC timestamping, and PPS input/output for timestamp synchronization.
ProfiShark 10G+ accepts 1G fiber, 10G fiber, 1G copper, and 10G copper SFPs, bringing the ease of use and performance of the ProfiShark design to new heights. Powered by USB 3.0, the ProfiShark 10G+ captures network traffic — packets of all sizes and types — with high resolution hardware timestamping. The packets can in turn be analyzed with Wireshark or any network analyzer. To streamline the analysis process and save storage space, hardware filters help you capture only the data you need.
The ProfiShark series includes other essential features, such as packet slicing, statistics, configuration options, and high-performance capture to disk, through our own ProfiShark Manager application.

Reliable Traffic Capture in a Portable Package
Complete visibility of your entire network anytime, anywhere
ProfiSharks are portable traffic capture devices that provide quick packet-level insight anywhere they are deployed. With capture regardless of packet rate and high quality hardware timestamping, ProfiShark delivers high fidelity capture files, forming an ideal starting point for troubleshooting or network forensics. Designed for easy, non-intrusive traffic capture, ProfiShark offers a valuable improvement over less performant options, such as SPAN ports on a switch or direct capture on a laptop. They give reliable insight into the network, ensuring the quality of analysis, and optimizing workflow, without dropping any packets.
Connected via USB to a host PC or laptop, in-line or out-of-band traffic can be forwarded directly to packet analyzer software, like Wireshark, or stored to disk. To ensure optimum network protection, the monitored network is physically separated from the management interface. The capture control and hardware settings can be managed via the included ProfiShark Manager application.
Quickly get packet-level insight
ProfiShark enables complete data capture in a portable form factor. This means you can deploy rapidly anywhere, and capture the traffic data you need, with no performance impact on your production network.
Get trace files you can rely onTo help optimize your analysis workflow and consume less disk storage, ProfiShark offers packet slicing capabilities, making sure you only get actionable data.
Configurable hardware featuresSlicing and filters (packet type, MAC, IP, protocol, ports, and string matching) are hardware features, operating at wire speed (20 Gbps) regardless of packet rate.
Get the timestamp resolution you needHigh resolution timestamping is essential for the analysis of performance metrics like TCP flow throughput, delay, and jitter. ProfiShark offers models with up to 5 ns resolution hardware timestamping, and advanced GPS/PPS timestamping features on the + models.
Straightforward setup and management
Place ProfiShark in the line of the packets you want to analyze and use the ProfiShark Manager GUI to control hardware and packet capture settings.
Capture high fidelity network trafficCapture traffic data with high resolution timestamping, regardless of packet load. This data is captured with no effect on traffic stack. Monitoring can be done on copper or fiber networks.
Multiple traffic capture options availableDirect capture to disk without the need for external software, live capture with Wireshark or other packet analyzer, or long-term traffic capture on a NAS.
Wide OS supportProfiShark is supported on the main OS choices on the market today: Linux, Windows, and macOS.
