Product Overview

Medium RF chamber — ≥70 dB isolation, 480 × 490 × 480 mm interior

Medium affordable 70+ dB isolation RF chamber.

The CT820a is the medium-class workhorse of the 70+ dB family — often in stock with short lead times. Outside dimensions 550 × 650 × 535 mm with a 480 × 490 × 480 mm interior. Fits most Wi-Fi APs, mesh nodes and instrument tools comfortably. Comes with a full filtered-interface set (SMA, 10 GbE, USB-A, USB-C, optional HDMI / Coax / Fiber) and a universal A/C power strip inside.
