Understanding Category 2121: Repeaters & Transceivers
The category Repeaters & Transceivers is assigned the unique identification number 2121 within the Google Product Taxonomy. It is located at the path Electronics > Networking > Repeaters & Transceivers and serves as a critical classification for hardware designed to extend or modify network signal coverage.
This category is intended for devices that boost, extend, or bridge wireless and wired network signals. Examples of items from the US market suitable for this category include:
- WiFi range extenders and signal boosters
- Wireless mesh extenders
- Outdoor WiFi access points with repeater functionality
- Long-range dual-band wireless extenders
Do not include devices that primarily manage network traffic or provide primary connectivity. For instance, routers that function as primary gateways, network switches, and hubs should be placed in Bridges & Routers or Hubs & Switches. If you are listing devices that facilitate physical connectivity, such as power over ethernet adapters, network cards, or modems, these belong in their own respective categories like Power Over Ethernet Adapters or Modems.
There are no subcategories for this classification; this is the most specific level available in the taxonomy.
To map your feed, use either the numeric ID 2121 or the full path Electronics > Networking > Repeaters & Transceivers. While the attribute is optional, providing it ensures correct categorization, as automatic assignments by Google can occasionally be imprecise or overly broad.
