Accton Technology Corporation — 17 prefixes (MA-L)
Summary
- // what this is
- Accton Technology is registered to MAC prefix
B8:61:6Fand 16 more in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins withB8:61:6F, that block was registered by Accton Technology — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. - // analyst note
- Accton's ODM model means much of its hardware ships under downstream brands (Edgecore, SMC, hyperscaler private label); an Accton OUI on a device does not imply an Accton-branded product.
About this vendor.
Accton Technology Corporation is a Taiwanese networking ODM/OEM founded in 1988 and listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange (2345.TW), with roughly $2.58B revenue and ~3,242 employees as of 2022. It holds 17 IEEE MA-L (24-bit) OUI assignments and zero entries in the MA-M or MA-S registries, spanning three decades of hardware — a footprint well beyond a bare single-block registration. Thirteen of the seventeen blocks share the same Hsinchu Science Park, Taiwan registered address; one legacy block (00:00:E8) traces to an earlier Fremont, California office, and one (08:27:F0) is registered to a Shanghai subsidiary/manufacturing address, consistent with Accton's global manufacturing footprint. Accton's business is data-center and enterprise networking gear — Ethernet switches from 100G up to 800G, wireless access points, SmartNICs, 5G cell-site gateways, and broadband CPE — much of it ODM-built and shipped under downstream brands. Notably, Accton owns Edgecore Networks (its white-box networking spinoff, already a separate DONE entry in this OUI master describing it as "Edgecore Networks Corporation (white-box / Accton)"), plus SMC Networks and IgniteNet, and it partners with hyperscalers including Amazon and HPE via Open Compute Project contributions. No CVEs or security advisories were located filed specifically under the Accton brand name in this pass; Accton's ODM model means downstream-branded hardware would more plausibly carry any such advisories.
- IEEE assignment
- 17 prefixes → Accton Technology Corporation (MA-L only; 0 matches in MA-M/MA-S) [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry, the IEEE MA-M registry, the IEEE MA-S registry
- HQ / registered address
- No.1, Creation Road 3, Hsinchu Science Park, Hsinchu, Taiwan 30077 — covers 13 of 17 prefixes [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry
- Address outliers
- 00:00:E8 registered to 46750 Fremont Blvd. #104, Fremont, CA, US 94538 (legacy US office); 08:27:F0 registered to Shanghai, CN (subsidiary/manufacturing) [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry

- Partnerships
- Amazon and HPE (Open Compute Project contributions) [Likely] — https://www.accton.com/2197/
- Security context
- no CVEs or vendor advisories found filed under the "Accton" brand name in this research pass; downstream-branded hardware (Edgecore/SMC/OEM) would more plausibly carry any such advisories [Unknown] — not found in this pass
- Dates
- IEEE's public the IEEE MA-L registry publishes no assignment/registration date column for any of the 17 rows; no date recorded here. Any third-party "date registered" for an Accton MAC prefix is a database artifact, not an IEEE fact [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry
- Verified sample prefixes (all MA-L, Accton)
- B8:61:6F, 00:12:CF, AC:81:B5, 5C:40:97 [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry
