MAC address vendor

ACX GmbH — identified by MAC prefix 70:31:87

Primary prefix
70:31:87
Block
MA-L

Summary

// what this is
ACX is registered to MAC prefix 70:31:87 in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with 70:31:87, that block was registered by ACX — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device.
// analyst note
The 24-bit prefix leaves 24 suffix bits (16,777,216 possible suffix values). This is address-space capacity, not a device or shipment count. For this literal prefix, the first-byte Group and Local bits are both zero; changing either bit creates a different prefix. A match identifies the registry assignment only, not a specific device, product, operating system, current identity, or security state.

About this vendor.

A MAC address beginning 70:31:87 matches the IEEE MA-L assignment to ACX GmbH; the record identifies the registrant, not a device type or product. The available evidence gives no product or device mapping for this prefix.

This is a 24-bit prefix, leaving 24 bits for suffixes: 16,777,216 possible values. That is a mathematical address-space count, not a count of devices, shipments, or addresses in use. A match establishes only that the captured address begins with the assigned prefix.

For 70:31:87, the first-byte Group bit and Local bit are both zero. In an exact literal match, those bits are fixed. Changing either bit produces a different prefix; RFC 7042 explains their significance for group and local MAC identifiers. The supplied IEEE CSV record does not display an assignment date.
