SFP(+) modules support a wide range of fiber optic and copper ethernet links, up to 10G bits per second. ^^ The SharkTapSFP+ also supports DAC cables, for zero power and zero delay. ^^ Powered by a USB-B cable (included). USB3 (3A, or 15W) is recommended. The SharkTapSFP+ can be powered from a USB jack or a cellphone type 'wall wart' ^^ The USB connection also exposes a terminal interface (CDC) allowing the user to track the SFP(+) modules installed, or to access an API that allows external programs to access any special features of modules.
^^ The SharkTapSFP+ makes copies of NETWORK port data, allowing you to monitor and capture ethernet data without affecting the NETWORK connections.
