MAC address vendor

Cheng Uei Precision Industry Co., Ltd. (Foxlink) — 3 MA-L + 1 MA-M prefixes

Primary prefix
00:1A:0E
Block
MA-L
Status
Active

Summary

// what this is
Cheng Uei Precision Industry is registered to MAC prefix 00:1A:0E and 3 more in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with 00:1A:0E, that block was registered by Cheng Uei Precision Industry — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device.
// analyst note
Core business (connectors/cables/batteries) mostly doesn't carry MACs directly; device-type corroboration (USB webcams) is at the corporate-identity level via USB VID 05C8, not verified per individual MAC prefix.

About this vendor.

Updated  ·  Confidence: High  ·  9 sources  ·  How this page is checked

A MAC address beginning 00:1A:0E, 9C:CD:82, or E0:F5:CA belongs to Cheng Uei Precision Industry Co., Ltd., a Taiwan-headquartered electronics manufacturer that trades publicly as Foxlink (TWSE: 2392). A fourth, smaller MA-M sub-allocation, DC:76:C3:D/28, is registered to the same organization (under the registry's own "Chen Uei" spelling — see below).

Foxlink is a real, verifiable company, not a shell registrant: founded 1986, publicly traded on the Taiwan Stock Exchange, and reporting roughly 63,000 employees. Its registered HQ, No. 18, Zhongshan Rd., Tu-Cheng Dist., New Taipei City, matches the registrant address on two of the three MA-L blocks (9C:CD:82 and E0:F5:CA), and also matches the address on the DC:76:C3:D/28 MA-M sub-allocation. The third MA-L block, 00:1A:0E, is registered to a Dongguan, Guangdong (China) manufacturing address instead. The DC:76:C3 base itself is an IEEE-held /24 shared with many unrelated registrants — Foxlink holds only the single /28 sub-block beneath it, registered under the variant spelling "Chen Uei Precision Industry Co., Ltd" (the registry entry genuinely drops the "g").

Foxlink's core, self-reported business is connectors, cable assemblies, and batteries/power products sold OEM/ODM to computer, communications, and consumer-electronics makers — hardware that typically does not carry its own MAC address. Independent hardware-ID databases separately attribute USB webcams to the same corporate name via USB VID 05C8, a distinct registry from IEEE MAC OUIs, so that is corporate-identity corroboration rather than proof that these specific MAC prefixes appear in webcams.

IEEE's own OUI and MAM registries publish no assignment/registration date field. Third-party lookup tools show "Registered" dates for these prefixes, but those are database artifacts, not IEEE facts, and are not presented here as registration dates.

none identified as separate IEEE registrations distinct from this organization name [Unknown]
Analyst note
three MA-L assignments plus one MA-M sub-allocation under a consistent, address-verifiable, publicly-traded company name is substance beyond a bare single-OUI shell.
