Cableware Electronics holds a single MA-L (24-bit OUI) block, 00:0F:2A, registered to the IEEE-recorded address 1702 Western Ave., Las Vegas, NV 89102, US. The company name and a USPTO trademark filed in 1988 (CABLEWARE ELECTRONICS, serial 73714112) both point to RF/cable test equipment as the product line: the trademark's IC class 009 goods description reads "APPARATUS FOR TESTING AMPLIFIERS," with first commercial use claimed 1987-06-25. That description, plus the company name and the broadband-heavy Las Vegas market, is the strongest available signal that this is CATV/RF amplifier test gear — but no product datasheet, model name, or vendor page was recovered to confirm a specific device, so the device type is held at [Likely] rather than [Confirmed]. The federal trademark was cancelled 2009-06-06 under Section 8 (non-use), suggesting the brand lapsed; a directory/Yelp listing updated in 2026 hints the business may still operate locally, though no current product or service information was found and no live website exists. As with every OUI, the critical caveat is that IEEE publishes no registration date for MA-L assignments — any "date registered" shown by third-party MAC lookup tools is a database artifact, not an IEEE fact, and is not recorded here. No CVEs or public security advisories are associated with this prefix or vendor.

- Website
- none found; no accessible Wayback Machine snapshots retrieved [Unknown] — no source
- Allocation date
- IEEE publishes NO assignment/registration date for OUI/MAC prefixes (oui.csv columns are only Registry, Assignment, Organization Name, Organization Address). Any "date registered" on third-party MAC lookup tools is a database artifact, not an IEEE fact. [Unknown — legitimately not published] — IEEE oui.csv schema
- Security context
- no CVEs, public vulnerability advisories, or known security issues found for OUI 00:0F:2A or Cableware Electronics. [Confirmed — none found] — https://www.cvedetails.com/
- Analyst note
- a globally-administered 00:0F:2A address identifies hardware bearing the Cableware Electronics OUI; given the cancelled trademark and absence of any live product line, encountering this prefix in modern inventory likely indicates legacy/long-lived RF test equipment.
