Actel Corporation MAC Prefix 00:0B:E9: Device Identity Unknown
Summary
- // what this is
- Actel is registered to MAC prefix
00:0B:E9in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with00:0B:E9, that block was registered by Actel — 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 00:0B:E9 matches an IEEE MA-L assignment to Actel Corporation; the available evidence does not identify a device category for this prefix. A matching prefix establishes a registry assignment only, not the device’s maker, product, deployment, or security state.
The assignment covers the first 24 bits of a 48-bit MAC address, leaving 24 bits for suffix values. There are 16,777,216 possible suffix values in that space; this is a mathematical range, not a count of devices or shipments. The literal prefix’s first-byte Group and Local bits are both zero. Those bits are fixed for an exact prefix match; changing either bit produces a different prefix.
The retrieved record identifies the registrant’s country as the United States. It provides no assignment date, products, industry, website, or device mapping. Use the full prefix 00:0B:E9 as a registry lookup clue, then rely on other device evidence to identify the hardware.
- Registry match
- Actel Corporation —
00:0B:E9(MA-L). - Device identification
- Unknown; the record does not map this prefix to a device category.
- Matching boundary
- The first 24 bits must match; the remaining 24 bits can take 16,777,216 possible values.
- First-byte bits
- Group = 0 and Local = 0 for this literal prefix; flipping either bit changes the prefix.
