SML-8168B Smart Network Cable Tester
Switch-free, plug-and-test network cable tester for Ethernet, telephone, and shielded cable mapping with nominal 60 V PoE protection.
Product Overview
The SML-8168B is a switch-free, plug-and-test two-piece smart network cable tester for structured-cabling acceptance and routine maintenance. Its main and remote units use 1-8 and G indicators to display wire order, identify opens, shorts, and miswiring in network and telephone cables, and verify shield continuity on shielded network cable.
Typical Applications
- Network-cable mapping and acceptance in structured cabling projects
- RJ45 network and RJ11 telephone cable troubleshooting
- Conductor and shield continuity checks on shielded network cable
- Cable maintenance in equipment rooms, wiring closets, and security installations
Use and Safety Limits
PoE burnout protection reduces the risk of damage from accidental connection to a low-voltage network port; it does not mean every energized line can be mapped normally. For an energized check, connect only the main unit. Never connect the remote unit to an energized line. Do not connect the tester to mains power, high-voltage wiring, or a circuit of unknown voltage.
Features
- Switch-free, no-delay design starts remote wire mapping when the cable is connected
- Identifies opens, shorts, and miswiring in network and telephone cables
- 1-8 and G indicators show wire order and shield continuity
- Combined RJ45/RJ11 interface with detachable main and remote units
- Nominal 60 V PoE burnout protection
