Artesyn Embedded Technologies — 8 prefixes (MA-L)

Artesyn Embedded Technologies holds eight distinct MA-L OUI blocks (00:01:AF, 00:06:0B, 00:08:F9, 00:80:42, 00:C0:F9, 00:E0:35, D8:97:3B, EC:9E:CD), seven of them registered to the company's long-standing Tempe, Arizona headquarters and one (D8:97:3B) to a Kowloon, Hong Kong address — evidence of a real, geographically distributed manufacturer rather than a shell registrant. The name traces a multi-decade corporate lineage: founded in 1968 as Computer Products, Inc., renamed Artesyn Technologies after a 1997 merger with Zytec Corp, absorbed into Emerson Network Power in 2006 alongside Astec Power and Motorola's Embedded Communications Computing Group, then majority-acquired and rebranded by Platinum Equity in 2013, before Advanced Energy Industries acquired the embedded power business in 2019. The hardware most plausibly carrying independent Ethernet MACs is Artesyn's embedded-computing line — AdvancedTCA blades and VMEbus/computer-on-module single-board computers sold into telecom, military, and industrial systems, including a documented U.S. Navy Aegis radar upgrade — rather than the company's AC-DC/DC-DC power-supply products, which less plausibly need their own network identity.

IEEE assignment

8 distinct MA-L blocks (00:01:AF, 00:06:0B, 00:08:F9, 00:80:42, 00:C0:F9, 00:E0:35, D8:97:3B, EC:9E:CD) → "Artesyn Embedded Technologies" [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry

Registry / block size

MA-L only (24-bit OUI) across all 8 blocks; no MA-M or MA-S entries found for this org name [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry, the IEEE MA-M registry, the IEEE MA-S registry

Registered addresses

7 of 8 blocks → 2900 S. Diablo Way (Suite 190), Tempe, AZ 85282, US; 1 block (D8:97:3B) → 16/F Lu Plaza Building, Kwun Tong, Kowloon, HK [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry

Corporate history

founded 1968 as Computer Products, Inc.; renamed Artesyn Technologies after the 1997 Zytec Corp merger; acquired by Emerson Network Power in 2006 (merged with Astec Power and Motorola's Embedded Communications Computing Group); Platinum Equity acquired majority ownership in 2013 and rebranded the unit Artesyn Embedded Technologies; Advanced Energy Industries acquired the Embedded Power business in 2019

Company status

brand now folded into Advanced Energy Industries (embedded power business, post-2019); "Artesyn Embedded Technologies" as a standalone entity is defunct/absorbed [Confirmed] — advancedenergy.com, platinumequity.com

Device / product context

embedded-computing hardware — AdvancedTCA blades and VMEbus/computer-on-module single-board computers (e.g. ATC-4130, ATCA-7365, ATCA-7480) sold into telecom, military, and industrial systems, including a U.S. Navy Aegis upgrade [Likely — plausible attribution to the embedded-computing rather than power-supply product line] — newark.com Artesyn product guide (PDF), militaryaerospace.com, artesyn.com

Assignment / registration dates

Unknown / not applicable — IEEE's public OUI data publishes no per-block assignment date; a third-party aggregator (maclookup.app) lists dates such as 00:80:42 → 1998-04-22 and D8:97:3B → 2011-05-07, but these are database artifacts, not IEEE facts, and are deliberately NOT recorded here as registration dates [Confirmed]

Security context

Unknown — no Artesyn-specific CVEs or security advisories found in this pass; deployment context (telecom/military/industrial embedded boards) suggests operator/carrier or defense networks, but no advisory exists to cite [Unknown]
