This unit
The Spirent Smartbits LAN-3201A is a single-port Gigabit Ethernet module that delivers full wire-rate traffic generation and analysis for network device testing and qualification. Built to IEEE 802.3z standards, this SFP-based module integrates directly into SMB6000B and SMB6000C chassis systems to evaluate Layer 2 and Layer 3 performance under controlled or extreme load conditions. It supports simulation of up to 8,192 end devices and streams, with capacity for 512 million simultaneous flows, making it ideal for comprehensive interoperability and RFC 2544 compliance testing of routers and network equipment.

Spirent LAN-3201A — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Spirent LAN-3201A. Calibration covers analog input channel accuracy and offset at all gain settings, analog output accuracy, digital I/O logic threshold verification, sample rate and timing accuracy, and trigger and synchronization bus functional verification. NI CompactRIO and PXI chassis also undergo backplane trigger line integrity check.. All calibrations ship with a NIST-traceable certificate. Turnaround is typically 1–3 business days after receipt.
Common Spirent LAN-3201A faults: power supply failure (cRIO-9073/9074), C-series slot connector wear, PXI chassis fan failure, GPIB interface failure on VXI controllers, BIOS/EEPROM corruption. NI CompactRIO most common faults are power supply failure on older cRIO-9073/9074 chassis and C-series module slot connector wear from repeated hot-swap cycles. PXI chassis fan failure is the most common wear item — chassis fans are field-replaceable. VXI embedded controllers most commonly develop EEPROM corruption and GPIB interface failure.

This Spirent LAN-3201A is listed at $50. Calibration is available separately from $450. Contact us for volume pricing or if you need multiple units.
Spirent LAN-3201A calibration cost
NIST-traceable calibration for the Spirent LAN-3201A is $450 (standard — pass/fail certificate and calibration sticker) or $650 (full measured data at every test point, reference standards documented, traceability chain included). Calibration for this instrument covers analog input channel accuracy and offset at all gain settings, analog output accuracy, digital I/O logic threshold verification, sample rate and timing accuracy, and trigger and synchronization bus functional verification. NI CompactRIO and PXI chassis also undergo backplane trigger line integrity check.. Turnaround is 1 to 3 business days after receipt. See full calibration details →
