Its small portable size and being USB powered make it an ideal network traffic sniffing device for monitoring and troubleshooting data traffic in a 10/100Base-T Ethernet network. DCSW-1005PT can also be used as a 4-port 10/100Base-T Ethernet Switch. DCSW-1005PT further supports PoE inline power pass-through between the two inline ports, which is a very useful feature for capturing traffic of packets on a PoE link segment as DCSW-1005PT does not block the PoE inline power.

Review: Läuft wie erwartet - Was gefällt mir? Die Funktion. Was nicht? Der Preis. Genau genommen nutze ich damit nur die Funktion die früher jeder HUB hatte.

What I have has a AC adapter that always falls off the power strip.** A: If all you need is USB powered hub then this is a expensive choice. This unit is really meant for capturing data from the network. This might be a better choice: http://www.amazon.com/Bytecc-Mini-N-WAY-SWITCH-Powered/dp/B000EQ766G **Q: Is there any software that needs to be installed for this to operate? I'm not talking about the analyzing tools. I'm talking about the tap itself.** A: No software is needed for the device. It is plug and play. **Q: For voip traffic does it mirror both send and receive traffic? i have a throwing star network tap and that only mirrors the send traffic.** A: Yes, the monitor port (port 5) outputs a copy of inline traffic in both directions (send and receive). DCSW-1005 can be used for VoIP recording and related applications. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Regarding Difference in Cost of Product *by A***H on 22 April 2011* Hello, Though I am very much satified with this product, I am very much disappointed with the way I was chected by during order booking.
