CHANGHONG (HONGKONG) TRADING LIMITED — 2 prefixes (MA-L)

Primary prefix
AC:AC:E2
Block
MA-L
Status
Active

Summary

// what this is
Changhong is registered to MAC prefix AC:AC:E2 and 1 more in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with AC:AC:E2, that block was registered by Changhong — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device.
// analyst note
Two independent MA-L assignments under one identifiable, verifiable Hong Kong company indicate genuine operating substance, not a bare shell registration; device type is a brand-level inference, not directly confirmed for these specific blocks.

About this vendor.

Updated  ·  Confidence: Medium

A MAC address beginning with AC:AC:E2 or E8:C6:E6 belongs to CHANGHONG (HONGKONG) TRADING LIMITED, the Hong Kong-incorporated trading and sourcing arm of Sichuan Changhong Electric Co., Ltd., and is typically seen on Changhong-branded consumer electronics such as televisions, set-top boxes, and home appliances reaching Hong Kong and export markets.

The registrant holds two separate IEEE MA-L (/24) assignments under the same registrant name and address, which is itself a substance signal beyond a bare single-block registration. Sichuan Changhong Electric, founded in 1958, is a large, long-established Chinese manufacturer of TVs, air conditioners, refrigerators, and set-top boxes.

No third-party MAC fingerprint database lists a specific device type for either prefix, so the product association above is inferred from the parent brand and this entity's trading-arm role, not confirmed per-OUI. No CVE or malware/botnet record names this company or either OUI specifically as of an August 2026 search; one loosely related Android platform vulnerability (CVE-2014-7911) affected several Chinese smart-TV brands including Changhong at the OS level, not this hardware or MAC allocation.
