Connected Home — 2 prefixes (MA-L)
Summary
- // what this is
- Connected Home is registered to MAC prefix
44:7F:77and 1 more in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with44:7F:77, that block was registered by Connected Home — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. - // analyst note
- Two prefixes confirmed under the identical registrant string "Connected Home" at one London address; no further corporate identity was found in this pass. This entry does not claim, and must not be conflated with, the unrelated "Vantiva - Connected Home" registrant consolidated at enrichment/oui/vendor-vantiva.md.
About this vendor.
A MAC address starting with 44:7F:77 or 1C:73:28 belongs to the "Connected Home" IEEE MA-L registration, registered from 19-22 Rathbone Place, London, GB W1T 1HY. This is a distinct registrant from "Vantiva - Connected Home" (a different IEEE org string, held by Vantiva SA, already consolidated inside the finalized /mac/vendor/vantiva/ entry and separately covered by the retired duplicate slug vantiva-connected-home) — the two must not be conflated despite the similar name.
Both blocks are direct 24-bit MA-L grants under the exact org string "Connected Home," with identical registered addresses across both rows. No further corporate identity (holding company, product line, industry) for this London registrant was found in the sources checked for this pass.
No CVE, malware family, or botnet association was found under the name "Connected Home" as of an August 2026 web search, though the generic name makes search disambiguation difficult and this reflects only what surfaced in that search rather than an exhaustive audit.

- no CVE or advisory found under "Connected Home" as of an August 2026 web search; the generic registrant name limits confidence that this is an exhaustive check [Likely] — (no external citation for the absence itself)
