An old coworker of mine wanted to use a tap like this to set up a secondary tamper-resistant syslog server alongside our central syslog server.
The secondary syslog server would only be connected to the "receive" pair of the primary syslog server and therefore only physically able to receive data - making it difficult to tamper with logs.

Use a switch with a SPAN port, or alternatively there are commercial taps (for example from NetOptics) that does exactly what you want... just in a much nicer/cleaner/proper way.
