802C

802C is not an officially recognized designation within the IEEE 802 family of standards. The IEEE 802 LAN/MAN standards committee assigns numbers to standards and uses alphanumeric suffixes for amendments; however, there is no published standard that carries the designation 802C.

In practice, the term may appear as a typographical error, an internal project code, a model or product name, or a proprietary specification used by a company. It can also be confused with other well-known 802 designations such as 802.11 wireless standards or 802.3 Ethernet specifications. Because 802C lacks an official specification, any technical claims attributed to it should be approached with caution.

If 802C is encountered in documentation, the surrounding context should be examined to determine whether it refers to a formal standard, a vendor-specific product, or a misprint. For authoritative information about IEEE standards, consult the IEEE Standards Association database, official standard documents, or recognized industry references.
