WEBMay 4, 2017 · USB is 5m, RS232 us 15m. Ethernet devices are more likely to be in different rooms, whereas USB devices are usually grounded to a computer (or hub) and are on the same ground or in the same room on the same mains circuit. The voltage of ethernet is lower ±1V with ~10mA of current. RS232 is much higher at 5V or 15V.
How do i measure Ethernet signals on an oscillocope
WEBFeb 6, 2020 · The best tool for the job is a switch with port mirror and a spare network card on a PC to run pcap with Wireshark. You can also use a ethernet hub, but you can't buy those anymore. So unless you have from the 90's, you're better of buying a managed switch/router with port mirror capability. eg: Mikrotik RB260GS or RB750r2.
