the claim

Ethernet cables can be tapped without detection.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
1 source for · 2 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Ethernet cables can be tapped without detection?

Partly. One reference work states that cables, including undersea cables, can be tapped without detection, while a 2024 simulation study reports that taps on two-wire cables can be detected through passive measurement. Neither source addresses Ethernet tapping specifically, so the evidence only partially covers the claim.
