| None | None | None | |
| Not applicable | Not applicable | None | |
| Optical network termination device | A type of device that converts signals between copper (wired) or wireless connections and an optical fiber connection. ONTs are available in either desktop or building-mounted versions with different connectivity options. | None | |
| Other | Other | None | |
| Router | A network device that determines the optimal path along which network traffic should be forwarded as its primary function. Routers forward packets from one network to another based on network layer information. Devices fitting this definition may provide both Router functionality and wireless network capability. | None | |
| Small network equipment | Network Equipment that is intended to serve users in either small networks or a subset of a large network. SNE includes a) all Network Equipment with integral wireless capability and b) other Network Equipment meeting all of the following criteria: a) Designed for stationary operation; b) Contains no more than eleven (11) wired Physical Network Ports; c) Primary configuration for operation outside of standard equipment racks; and d) Meets the definition of one or more of the Product Types defined below. | None | |
| Switch | A network device that filters, forwards, and floods frames based on the destination address of each frame as its primary function. The switch operates at the data link layer of the OSI model. | None | |
