ADC Telecommunications MAC Prefix: Device Type Unknown
Summary
- // what this is
- ADC Telecommunications is registered to MAC prefix
00:17:34in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with00:17:34, that block was registered by ADC Telecommunications — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. - // analyst note
- The prefix match identifies a registry assignment only; the supplied sources do not map it to a device or product.
About this vendor.
A MAC address beginning 00:17:34 matches an IEEE MA-L assignment to ADC Telecommunications; the supplied evidence does not identify a device type for this prefix. A match identifies the registry assignment, not a specific device, product, current vendor identity, or security state.
The prefix is 24 bits long, leaving 24 suffix bits, or 16,777,216 possible suffix values. That is a mathematical address-space count, not a count of devices or shipments. The IEEE record does not provide an assignment date.
CommScope describes ADC Telecommunications’ telephone-jack expertise as a foundation for its DSX product and says ADC refreshed DSX in 1985. The account also connects the Bantam jack to ADC’s DSX development. These are company-level product facts; the supplied sources do not map DSX or Bantam products to this prefix.
- Vendor assignment
- ADC Telecommunications, per the IEEE MA-L record.
- Device type
- Unknown; no supplied source maps a device category to this exact prefix.
- Prefix match
00:17:34matches the first 24 bits of the address.- Address bits
- The first byte is
00; its Group bit (bit 0) and Local bit (bit 1) are both zero. Changing either bit changes the prefix and does not describe variation within this fixed assignment. - Suffix space
- 24 remaining bits permit 16,777,216 values; this is not an observed device or shipment count.
- Product context
- CommScope documents ADC’s DSX and Bantam jack history, without linking either product to this prefix.
