Agilecom Photonics Solutions Guangdong Limited — 68:43:D7 (MA-L)

Agilecom Photonics Solutions Guangdong Limited holds a single IEEE MA-L block, 68:43:D7, registered to a manufacturing site at No.1-6, Shenwan Industrial Park, Shenwan Town, Zhongshan, Guangdong, China. The company is an optical-component maker rather than a networking-appliance vendor: it traces back to Aokan Optical Devices (Zhongshan), established around 2002, and rebranded as Agilecom around 2017, with a production base in Zhongshan and historic Sino-US joint-venture roots. Its catalog is photonics, not switches or routers — PLC splitters, fused biconic couplers, CWDM/DWDM/OADM/AWG modules, DFB/DBR/SLED/VCSEL lasers, micro-optical isolators and circulators, and high-density MPO/MTP connectors and CWDM4 AWG sub-assemblies aimed at data-center and telecom transceivers. The practical reading for MAC classification is narrow: addresses from 68:43:D7 most likely appear inside active optical sub-assemblies or transceiver modules embedded in larger systems, not on standalone network endpoints, so this OUI is a weak signal for an enterprise asset-inventory and should be read as "optical/transceiver component" rather than a discrete device. No CVEs, security advisories, or sanctions flags were found in open sources; as a passive/active optical-component supplier the vendor presents a limited network-management attack surface. Note that any "registration date" seen on third-party MAC-lookup tools (e.g. a 2018-06-02 value) is a database artifact — IEEE publishes no registration date for MA-L blocks — and must not be presented as an IEEE fact.

IEEE assignment

68:43:D7 → Agilecom Photonics Solutions Guangdong Limited [Confirmed] — IEEE MA-L (corroborated maclookup.app)

Registry / block size

MA-L (24-bit OUI, ~16.7M addresses); single block, not present in MA-M (the IEEE MA-M registry) or MA-S (the IEEE MA-S registry) [Confirmed] — IEEE MA-L / maclookup.app

Registered address

No.1-6, Shenwan Industrial Park, Shenwan Town, Zhongshan, Guangdong 528462, CN [Confirmed] — IEEE the IEEE MA-L registry, uic.io

Country

CN [Confirmed] — IEEE MA-L

Assignment date

Unknown — IEEE publishes NO registration date for OUI/MA-L blocks. A 2018-06-02 value appears on maclookup.app but is a third-party database artifact, not an IEEE fact [Likely artifact / not an IEEE date] — maclookup.app

Company status / history

active optical-component manufacturer; originally Aokan Optical Devices (Zhongshan), est. ~2002; rebranded Agilecom ~2017; production base in Zhongshan, Guangdong, with Hong Kong logistics and historic San Jose, CA R&D presence (Sino-US JV roots) [Confirmed] — ofc-expo.com, made-in-china.com

Device types

optical components and modules, NOT end-user networking devices — PLC splitters, fused biconic couplers, CWDM/DWDM/OADM/AWG modules, DFB/DBR/SLED/VCSEL lasers, tunable laser sources, micro-optical isolators/circulators, MPO/MTP high-density multi-fiber connectors and patch cords, CWDM4/LAN-WDM AWG modules, chip dicing and fiber-array assemblies

[Confirmed] — agilecom.net, ofc-expo.com

Likely MAC carrier

active optical sub-assemblies / transceiver modules rather than complete appliances (switches, routers, ONUs) [Likely] — inferred from product catalog (agilecom.net)

Trade-show presence

ConnecTech Asia 2018 (Singapore), OFC Expo; listed in Laser Focus World directory [Confirmed] — informamarkets-info.com, ofc-expo.com, laserfocusworld.com

Security context

no CVEs, advisories, or sanctions/supply-chain flags found in NVD or open search; limited network-management attack surface as an optical-component supplier [Likely] — NVD / open-source search (no findings; absence of evidence)

Analyst note

68:43:D7 is a weak inventory signal — treat as "optical/transceiver component," not a discrete network endpoint; OUI alone won't identify a manageable device.
