Product Overview
5-chamber stack with integrated 2D turntable — for mesh, roaming and large multi-DUT testbeds
5-stack RF chamber configuration with central 2D turntable.
The CT840c-stack5 builds on our integrated stacked-chamber lineage
(CT840a-stack4 / CT840b-stack4) with a five-chamber configuration: a
large central DUT chamber on a programmable 2D turntable, multiple
medium chambers above for mesh extenders / clients, and a base
compartment for LANforge test equipment.
The result is a single integrated rack-and-roll testbed for TR-398
automated runs, mesh topology validation and roaming tests — all
wired together from the factory and LANforge-controlled end to end.

/// Software Features
RF & Network Interfaces
- •16+ filtered SMA ports (32 on the larger 'b' chambers).
- •3× filtered 10 GbE Ethernet pass-throughs per chamber.
- •USB-A 3.0, USB-A 2.0 (optional) and USB-C pass-throughs.
- •Optional 4K HDMI, RF Coax (Type-F) and FC fiber filtered ports.
- •Universal A/C power strip inside every chamber.
- •Optional DC-jack pass-through for chamber-internal power.
Frequency & Isolation
- •Designed for 800 MHz – 8 GHz operation, optimised for the 2-6 GHz Wi-Fi range.
- •'a'-series: ≥70 dB RF isolation (most affordable; great for everyday Wi-Fi work).
- •'ss' stack chambers: ≥80 dB RF isolation (mid-tier).
- •'b'-series: ≥90 dB RF isolation (full Wi-Fi isolation even with all RF filters in use).
- •RF-absorbing internal lining: ≥4.5 dB at 2.4 GHz, ≥10 dB at 5 GHz on 'a' models; ≥18 dB across 1.3-18 GHz on 'b' models.
Automation & Integration
- •Programmable 2D turntable (and 3D positioner option) on larger chambers — driven directly from LANforge.
- •API-controlled fan and door / light switches on supported models.
- •Integrated LED lighting and an internal camera on Large and Stack chambers.
- •Antenna mounts and high-gain directional antennas on Large and Stack chambers.
- •Front-loading doors with stack-friendly form factors.
/// Hardware Specifications
- Welded steel construction with conductive RF gaskets and filtered penetrations.
- Forced-air ventilation with filtered intake/exhaust to keep DUTs cool.
- Universal A/C power strip inside the chamber.
- Front-loading door with quick-release latches; stackable with matching chambers.
- Customisable port configurations — tell us your DUT and we'll wire the chamber to match.
- Footprint roughly 1060 × 800 × 1920 mm — castor base for rolling between bays.
- Top tier: medium chambers for mesh extenders / clients.
- Center: large DUT chamber with 2D turntable.
- Bottom: instrument compartment for LANforge traffic generators.
