It supports PoE pass-through, enabling seamless monitoring of PoE-enabled networks without disrupting power, making it an essential tool for professional network troubleshooting and traffic analysis. ## Description Dualcomm DCSW-1005PT is a Network Tap for use with a 10/100Base-T Ethernet link. 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 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. DCSW-1005PT can be conveniently powered from a USB port of a host device such as a laptop. It has a built-in inrush current limiting circuit to prevent the computer from possible damages or disturbances by transitional high current flow. DCSW-1005PT can also be used as a 4-port 10/100Base-T Ethernet Switch. Review: Excellent device - I love this device. It has helped a lot during troubleshooting and network solving actions. Very recommended. Review: Good tool to have! - Plug and play, no issues. I needed to monitor the communication between two micro controllers , and poll one of them from my PC at the same time. I plugged the micro controllers in ports 1 and 2 (with the one being polled in 1), and my PC in port 5. Everything worked beautifully as I intended. The small size and being powered from USB are definitely good features. ## Features - Network Tap for use with 10/100Base-T link - Capable of being powered from a computer's USB port with built-in inrush current limiting circuit to prevent the computer from possible damages or disturbances by instantaneous current surge - Compatible with PoE. PoE pass-through between two inline ports - Can also be used as a portable 4-port 10/100 Ethernet switch ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B003PCHAC6 | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,162 in Computer Networking Switches | | Brand | Dualcomm | | Built-In Media | USB power cable | | Case Material Type | Plastic | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Laptop | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (68) | | Data Transfer Rate | 100 Megabits Per Second | | Interface | PoE | | Item Weight | 12 Ounces | | Manufacturer | DualComm Technology, Inc. | | Mfr Part Number | DCSW-1005PT | | Model Number | DCSW-1005PT | | Number of Ports | 5 | | Platform | Not Machine Specific | | Switch Type | Flow Switch | | UPC | 804879244059 804879199656 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Upper Temperature Rating | 60 Degrees Celsius | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Dualcomm - **Color:** Black - **Compatible Devices:** Laptop - **Included Components:** USB power cable - **Number of Ports:** 5 ## Images ![USB Powered Network Tap (Model No. DCSW-1005) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/21djEBSVt5L.jpg) ![USB Powered Network Tap (Model No. DCSW-1005) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41kz8S+8zrL.jpg) ![USB Powered Network Tap (Model No. DCSW-1005) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41kSJ5pav9L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What do ports 3 and 4 do?** A: Port 3 and 4 are regular switch ports. **Q: Can I use this to add ports, like an always on hub? 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 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent device *by G***A on May 14, 2025* I love this device. It has helped a lot during troubleshooting and network solving actions. Very recommended. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good tool to have! *by N***U on February 7, 2016* Plug and play, no issues. I needed to monitor the communication between two micro controllers , and poll one of them from my PC at the same time. I plugged the micro controllers in ports 1 and 2 (with the one being polled in 1), and my PC in port 5. Everything worked beautifully as I intended. The small size and being powered from USB are definitely good features. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Label the ports once you get it *by A***N on February 10, 2019* Works perfectly as a TAP to use for Wireshark troubleshooting Ethernet-connected products. Connect one of the ports to the device you wish to monitor, another of the ports to the network, and a 3rd port to your computer running Wireshark in "Promiscuous Mode". The only real challenge is identifying which of the 5 ports you need to use for the 3 aforementioned purposes. Suggestion... Read the directions carefully, get it working, and then use a label maker or permanent marker to mark the ports so the next time you use the product you don't need to re-read the directions. Overall, great product at much lower cost than comparable dedicated TAPs. ## Frequently Bought Together - Dualcomm USB Powered Network Tap (Model No. DCSW-1005) - Cat 6 Ethernet Cable 5FT 10Pack, Cat6 Ethernet Patch Cable 10Gbps, High-Speed UTP Cat6 Network Cable Pure Copper, Cat 6 Cable for Home and Office Network, Black - Rapink Patch Cables Cat6/ Cat6a 1ft (24 Pack) Slim, Cat6a Ethernet Patch Cable 10G Support, Snagless Cat 6 Patch Cable for Patch Panel to Switch, Flexiable Cat6 Ethernet Cable Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.om/products/16819465-usb-powered-network-tap-model-no-dcsw-1005](https://www.desertcart.com.om/products/16819465-usb-powered-network-tap-model-no-dcsw-1005) --- *Product available on Desertcart Oman* *Store origin: OM* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
