MAC address vendor

77 Elektronika Kft. — 00:14:2E (MA-L)

Primary prefix
00:14:2E
Block
MA-L
Status
Active

Summary

// what this is
77 Elektronika Kft is registered to MAC prefix 00:14:2E in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with 00:14:2E, that block was registered by 77 Elektronika Kft — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device.
// analyst note
A 00:14:2E-prefixed MAC reliably identifies 77 Elektronika Kft. hardware, most plausibly a lab/point-of-care IVD instrument in its urine-analyzer or glucose/ketone-meter lines; the specific networked model was not independently confirmed, so treat device-type attribution below the org level as Likely rather than Confirmed.

About this vendor.

Updated  ·  Confidence: Medium

77 Elektronika Kft. holds a single IEEE MA-L block, 00:14:2E, registered to a Budapest address that matches the company's real-world headquarters exactly. Unlike a bare shell registration, this OUI traces to a substantive, identifiable manufacturer: a Hungarian in-vitro-diagnostics (IVD) company founded in 1986, family-owned by the Zettwitz family, with 700+ employees and exports to roughly 100 countries. Its product line centers on urine analyzers (DocUReader, DocUReader 2 PRO, LABUMAT with URISED technology, LabUReader Plus 2, HANDUREADER) and blood glucose/ketone meters and reagents. Multiple independent sources corroborate the company's substance — its own site, a Hungarian company registry listing, an EMIS profile, and trade-press coverage of a multi-billion-forint Budapest facility investment — which is enough to clear this entry above the single-OUI-shell bar even though only one block was ever assigned. The remaining gap is technical rather than corporate: documented interfaces on the named lab instruments are predominantly RS232, USB, PS2, and VGA for host/LIS connections, and no source found explicitly names which specific product carries an Ethernet port bearing the 00:14:2E prefix. That gap is disclosed rather than papered over below.

IEEE assignment
00:14:2E → "77 Elektronika Kft.", registered "Fehérvári út 98., Budapest, HU H-1163" [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry
Registry / block size
MA-L (24-bit OUI), single block; no companion MA-M/MA-S allocation found under this org name (checked the IEEE MA-M registry and the IEEE MA-S registry, no match) [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry, the IEEE MA-M registry, the IEEE MA-S registry
Cross-registry corroboration
Wireshark the Wireshark manufacturer database snapshot independently lists short name "77Elektronik" against the same prefix [Confirmed] — the Wireshark manufacturer database
Date registered
Unknown — IEEE's the IEEE MA-L registry exposes no assignment/registration-date column. maclookup.app's "First registration: 01 April 2005 / Last updated: 17 November 2015" is that third party's own database-ingestion metadata, not an IEEE-published fact, and is not recorded as a date here

Security context
no CVE, ICS-CERT/CISA advisory, or public vulnerability disclosure located for 77 Elektronika or its named products; this is a negative-search result, not a confirmed absence [Unknown] — https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/ics-advisories, https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/search, https://www.cve.org/
Similar-name caution
not to be confused with Robert Bosch Elektronika/Elektronikai Kft. (distinct OUIs 48:31:33, 44:0C:EE, 08:4B:44, 10:BD:43; Hatvan, HU), Elgama-Elektronika Ltd. (Lithuania, A4:94:26), or ELPROMA ELEKTRONIKA SP Z O O (Poland, 50:B1:40) — none share this registration [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry
