I have a ct15, ct25, and ct26.  I'd like to keep my ct26 at my assembly table for sanding, dominos and such.

What do I need to pair my ct25 to my kapex120? 
I'm also going to have a router mounted in my miter station on the far left side.  I'd like the ct25 to handle this as well, maybe with blast gates?

Or should I get another ct26 to handle the miter station setup?

Thoughts?

My CT15 is permanently tethered to my Kapex via a three-foot length of 36mm hose. Plenty of suction. Works great!

Whichever vac has a Bluetooth module, I'd think. Otherwise you'll have to operate the vacuum manually. For the routing question, I wish I knew where to find a quality Y-splitter/blast gate combo. Makita use to make a nice steel 3" gated splitter, but even a plastic 36mm would be super useful.

Edit to address my mistaken impression that the KS120 was the KS60. OP won't need BT.

Here are a couple I ran across. Not familiar with the quality.

Thank you all for the suggestions.  It's good to know that a CT15 can handle a Kapex so thank you Jason.  I do have one or two bluetooth mods floating around.  I was hoping to use a AutoSwitch or similar.  I have one that has 2 inputs (Kapex/router) and autoswitches the vac on on.

Has anyone used the Festool blastgates with any success?

I use the Festool blast gates with the black Y-adapter. Only issues are cost, and by the time everything is connected it sticks out more than I’d like. Functions well though.
