This unit
The Spirent SmartBits SMB-6000B chassis is a high-density network performance analysis system that integrates up to twelve interface modules for rigorous testing and validation of network infrastructure. This configuration pairs the chassis with two POS-3500B modules, enabling OC-3c/STM-1 (155 Mbps) and OC-12c/STM-4 (622 Mbps) Packet over SONET/SDH testing at single-port density per module. The system delivers detailed performance analysis, protocol validation, and troubleshooting across SONET/SDH and IP infrastructures.

Spirent SMB-6000B/POS-3500B — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Spirent SMB-6000B/POS-3500B. 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 SMB-6000B/POS-3500B 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.
Spirent SMB-6000B/POS-3500B price
This Spirent SMB-6000B/POS-3500B is listed at $339. Calibration is available separately from $450. Contact us for volume pricing or if you need multiple units.
Spirent SMB-6000B/POS-3500B calibration cost
NIST-traceable calibration for the Spirent SMB-6000B/POS-3500B 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 →
