A rectangular cuboid is a special case of a cuboid with rectangular faces in which all of its dihedral angles are right angles. This shape is also called rectangular parallelepiped or orthogonal parallelepiped.[a]

Many writers just call these "cuboids", without qualifying them as being rectangular, but others use cuboid to refer to a more general class of polyhedra with six quadrilateral faces.[1]
