AboveCable, Inc. MAC Prefix Identification
Summary
- // what this is
- AboveCable is registered to MAC prefix
00:0D:08in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with00:0D:08, that block was registered by AboveCable — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device.
About this vendor.
A MAC address beginning with 00:0D:08 matches an IEEE MA-L assignment registered to AboveCable, Inc.; the record does not identify a specific device or product. The assignment covers the first 24 bits of a 48-bit address, leaving 24 bits after the prefix.
The first byte is 00: its Group bit (bit mask 01) and Local bit (bit mask 02) are both zero. This is the exact prefix assignment. Changing either bit changes the prefix, so those variations do not match this literal prefix. RFC 7042 explains that MAC prefixes identify an initial portion of the address, with remaining bits used to form the full identifier.
There are 16,777,216 possible suffix values after this 24-bit prefix. That is an address-space count, not a count of devices, shipments, deployed addresses, or observed traffic. The supplied IEEE record has no assignment date, and no supplied evidence documents AboveCable products or maps this prefix to a device category.
