Festool EAA CT 26/36/48 Energy Box Module
At a Glance: Genuine Festool interface module for connecting compatible CT 26, CT 36 and CT 48 E mobile dust extractors manufactured up to 2024 with a Festool EAA energy box or extraction boom arm. The module provides the required connection point for the EAA/ASA control cable and integrates the mobile extractor into a stationary or suspended Festool workplace system.
The Festool EAA CT 26/36/48 is a dedicated connection module for integrating compatible Festool CT mobile dust extractors with an EAA energy box or Festool extraction boom arm. Installed in the appropriate module position on a CT 26, CT 36 or CT 48 E-series extractor, it provides the control-cable interface required between the mobile extractor and the workplace extraction system. This allows the extractor to form part of a more organised professional workstation in which extraction, power-tool connections and hoses can be routed through an energy box or overhead boom-arm installation rather than directly around the floor-level extractor. Festool's current specification identifies order number 496143 for CT 26/36/48 E extractors manufactured up to 2024. It is a specialised system component intended for workshops using Festool's EAA or ASA workplace infrastructure rather than a general-purpose accessory for every CT extractor.
The link between the CT extractor and the EAA workplace system
The EAA CT 26/36/48 module provides the dedicated interface needed to connect the control cable from a Festool energy box or boom arm to the compatible mobile dust extractor. Once installed, the CT can be incorporated into the EAA/ASA extraction arrangement instead of operating only as a stand-alone mobile extractor.

Important compatibility note: Festool's current product information specifies the EAA CT 26/36/48 module for CT 26/36/48 E mobile dust extractors manufactured up to 2024. Do not assume compatibility with the newer CT 26/36/48 EI generation introduced from 2025; confirm the exact extractor model and year before ordering.
LE models: Earlier Festool documentation notes that this retrofit module is not required on applicable CTL/CTM 36/48 LE versions because the corresponding connection was already fitted to those machines.
