Product category

In the mathematical field of category theory, the product of two categories C and D, denoted C × D and called a product category, is an extension of the concept of the Cartesian product of two sets.

Product categories are used to define bifunctors and multifunctors.

A functor whose domain is a product category is known as a bifunctor.

The product operation on categories is commutative and associative, up to isomorphism, and so this generalization brings nothing new from a theoretical point of view.
