MAC address vendor

Adept Systems Inc. MAC Prefix 00:07:FC — Assigned; device type Unknown

Primary prefix
00:07:FC
Block
MA-L

Summary

// what this is
Adept Systems is registered to MAC prefix 00:07:FC in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with 00:07:FC, that block was registered by Adept Systems — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device.
// analyst note
A MAC address beginning 00:07:FC matches this 24-bit MA-L assignment; the remaining 24 bits allow 16,777,216 suffix values. For this exact prefix the Group and Local bits are both zero. Changing either bit changes the prefix. Possible suffix values are not an observed device count. A prefix match identifies a registry assignment, not a particular device or product.

A MAC address beginning 00:07:FC matches an IEEE MA-L assignment to Adept Systems Inc.; the supplied evidence does not identify a device type or a specific product associated with the prefix. A match establishes the registered prefix only, not the manufacturer of a particular device or its present identity.

This is a 24-bit prefix, leaving 24 bits for the remaining address, or 16,777,216 possible suffix values. That arithmetic describes address space, not an observed device or shipment count. IEEE’s record supplies no assignment date, and the supplied sources do not establish company products, industry, website, or country.

RFC 7042 explains that the first octet’s Group and Local bits have special meaning. For this exact prefix, both are zero. A captured address matching all 24 bits therefore has those bits fixed; changing either bit changes the prefix and no longer matches this assignment. The prefix alone does not establish whether an observed address was deployed or used by a particular product.
