SML-368F Multi-Function Network Cable Crimping Tool
A network cable crimping tool that combines crimping, cutting, stripping, standalone single-ended testing, and main-to-remote wire mapping for standard 8P network and 6P telephone plugs.
Product Overview
The SML-368F is designed for network cabling, low-voltage installation, and routine line maintenance. It combines crimping, cutting, stripping, single-ended testing, and wire mapping in one tool. It supports standard, non-proprietary 8P network plugs and 6P telephone plugs. The selector plate at the 8P crimping position can be set to CAT.7 or CAT.5/6 as indicated on the tool. The main unit can perform a basic standalone check of the inserted termination, while the detachable remote supports end-to-end wire mapping.
Testing starts automatically when the cable is inserted, with no button required. A green main-unit status light indicates a normal result, while orange indicates a fault. During wire mapping, LEDs 1–8 on the front of the remote unit display the basic result; available product information does not specify a detailed lighting sequence or interpret individual LED combinations. The built-in 400 mAh battery charges through a USB Type-C port from a 5 V / 500 mA power source, with a nominal charging time of approximately 1 hour. The charging indicator is red while charging and turns off when fully charged.
