ProfiShark 1G by Profitap captures Ethernet traffic on 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 links to investigate communication issues in machines and industrial networks.
Support for 10/100/1000 Mbps lets you use it across different links in the same plant.
Key Features
- 8 ns hardware timestamping resolution: records packet arrival times for interval, latency and jitter analysis. Resolution is different from synchronization accuracy between devices.
- Frame capture: preserves tags, encapsulation and CRC/FCS error frames for analysis beyond conventional network interface capture.
- Transparent access: ProfiShark and the capture computer do not appear as nodes on the monitored network.
- ProfiShark Manager and Wireshark: configuration, statistics and direct-to-disk capture, with packet analysis in Wireshark or other tools.
- Packet slicing: limits the bytes stored per packet when the application allows reduced capture size.
- PoE passthrough: preserves PoE power delivery to the connected device; it is not a PoE power source.

Capture and link continuity conditions
Bypass directly connects the attached devices on power loss. Switching can interrupt the link for approximately 1–2 seconds; it is not uninterrupted continuity. A 5 VDC supply can prevent switching when USB is disconnected.
Applications and Benefits
- Maintenance and commissioning: capture exchanges between PLCs, HMIs, switches and other devices to investigate communication failures and intermittent behavior.
- Technical support: share capture files with manufacturers and integrators, and retain normal-operation traces as a baseline.
- Extended capture: use storage and a compatible NAS to record sporadic faults; verify capacity, platform and drivers.
- Target sectors: machinery OEMs, food processing, automotive, water and energy; choose the capture point for the IT/OT architecture.
How is it installed?
Prepare the computer with ProfiShark Manager and the required drivers; no software is installed on monitored PLCs, HMIs or other devices. In-line insertion requires work on the link and a planned connection. An existing mirror port or TAP can provide another access point, depending on the model.
Is this the right model for my network?
Choose 1G for RJ45 links up to Gigabit. For GPS/PPS synchronization, consider 1G+; for 10 Gbps links, consider the 10G range.
