MAC address vendor

Actel Corporation MAC Prefix 00:0B:E9: Device Identity Unknown

Primary prefix
00:0B:E9
Block
MA-L

Summary

// what this is
Actel is registered to MAC prefix 00:0B:E9 in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with 00:0B: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.

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.
