About this vendor.

A MAC address beginning 00:1A:40 matches an IEEE MA-L assignment to A-FOUR TECH CO., LTD.; the assignment alone does not identify a device model or prove which vendor deployed a captured address. The company’s official catalog lists mice, keyboards, desktops, audio products, webcams, USB hubs, mouse pads, laser pens, and microphones, but does not map those products to this prefix.

00:1A:40 is a 24-bit prefix, leaving 24 bits for suffix values: 16,777,216 possible values, not a count of devices or shipments. Its first octet is 00: Group bit 0 and Local bit 0 are fixed for an exact match. Changing either bit produces a different prefix. RFC 7042 describes these address bits and the use of longer assigned prefixes.

The company’s official contact page identifies its Taiwan headquarters as A-Four Tech Co., Ltd. and separately names a China factory and a USA branch company. Those listings do not establish that those separately named entities hold this IEEE assignment.
