Note: Although the SMB-200 cannot be stacked, it is able to be expanded with multiple
chassis via the expansion ports.
SmartBits-10
The SMB-10 is a 20 slot chassis that connects to and expands the capacity of a SMB-2000.
This chassis is totally dependent on the controller of the connecting SMB-2000, and is
called a “slave.”
SmartBits-600
The SmartBits-600 (SMB-600) is a portable and compact high-density-for-its-size
network performance analysis test system. Compatible with the SMB-6000B system, the
SMB-600 holds up to two modules that can support up to 4 Gigabit Ethernet ports, 16 10/
100 Mbps Ethernet ports, two POS (Packet over SONET) ports, two SmartMetrics Gigabit
ports, or a mixture of these port types.

SmartBits-6000B
The SmartBits 6000B (SMB-6000B) is an ultra high-port density network performance
analysis test system. Each chassis holds up to 12 modules that can support up to 24
Gigabit Ethernet ports, 96 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports, 12 POS (Packet over SONET)
ports, 12 SmartMetrics Gigabit Ethernet ports, or a mixture of these port types.
