DX Antenna Co., Ltd. — 2 prefixes (MA-L)

A MAC address beginning with 00:02:FA or A4:6E:A7 belongs to DX Antenna Co., Ltd., a Japanese manufacturer founded in 1953 that is best known for broadcast-reception equipment — antennas, boosters, splitters, and signal distributors — and has since expanded into networked security and disaster-prevention devices, so either prefix on a network most likely points to an antenna-adjacent or IP-camera product from this vendor rather than a bare shell registration.

DX Antenna holds two separate MA-L (/24) OUI blocks in the IEEE registry, 0002FA and A46EA7, filed under two slightly different name spellings — "DX Antenna Co., Ltd." and "DX ANTENNA CO.,LTD." — each with a distinct Japan registry address. Holding two independent assignments is itself evidence of an active operating company rather than a one-off or trivial registrant.

The company's product catalog includes networked, IP-based devices consistent with needing Ethernet/Wi-Fi hardware addresses, such as the CNW4CBFL1 outdoor Wi-Fi IP66 security camera and the WECAA1 indoor Wi-Fi tabletop camera. No source found maps either specific OUI to a named device model, so this device-type link is plausible corroboration rather than a confirmed per-product mapping.

DX Antenna joined the ELECOM Group in 2017 and remains headquartered in Japan. No CVE naming the company is recorded in the NVD, and no malware or botnet association surfaced for either OUI, as of an August 2026 search — a scoped negative finding, not a certification that no issue exists. Neither block is a shared IEEE-RA base block; both are direct, unambiguous vendor assignments.

IEEE assignment

0002FA → "DX Antenna Co., Ltd."; A46EA7 → "DX ANTENNA CO.,LTD." [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry assignment 0002FA, A46EA7

Registry / block size

MA-L (24-bit OUI) x2; no MA-M or MA-S entries found for this vendor [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry, the IEEE MA-M registry, the IEEE MA-S registry

HQ / country

Japan — 0002FA registry address "2-15 Hamazaki-Dori, JP"; A46EA7 registry address "2F Kudan First Place 4-1-28, Kudankita Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo JP 102-0073" [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry

Verified sample prefixes

00:02:FA, A4:6E:A7 (both MA-L, direct "DX Antenna" vendor assignments, not shared IEEE-RA base blocks) [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry

Registration dates

Unknown — IEEE's public OUI data publishes no assignment/registration date for MA-L blocks; no third-party "date registered" figure is asserted here [Unknown] — the IEEE MA-L registry (no date column)

Security note

no CVE naming DX Antenna is recorded in the NVD as of an August 2026 search, and no malware/botnet association for either OUI surfaced in a general web search as of August 2026; scoped negative, not a clean-record certification [Likely] — NVD search, general web search (no specific URL to cite)

Analyst note

two direct MA-L blocks plus an identifiable, long-operating manufacturer with a networked-device product line give this entry substance beyond a bare registration; either prefix most plausibly indicates broadcast/antenna hardware or a Wi-Fi camera from DX Antenna, though no OUI-to-model mapping is confirmed.
