Interface Corporation (INTERFACE CO.) — 00:80:62 (MA-L)

A MAC address beginning with 00:80:62 belongs to the IEEE MA-L block registered to "INTERFACE CO.", most plausibly identified as Interface Corporation, a Hiroshima, Japan-based manufacturer of industrial and embedded computing hardware — typically seen on industrial PCs, CompactPCI/VMEbus board computers, and GP-IB (IEEE-488) interface boards used in factory-automation and measurement-and-control systems.

The IEEE registry row lists the registrant address as 8-26 Ozu 5-chome, Minami-ku, JP, with no postal code and no city name given. That street-level address matches Interface Corporation's known location in Minami-ku, Hiroshima (postal 732-0828 per Japanese Wikipedia), a company founded 1 February 1978 that still operates a live corporate site.

Interface Corporation's product lines — industrial PCs (PFA series), CompactPCI and VMEbus board computers, GP-IB/IEEE-488 interface boards for PCI, PCIe, CompactPCI, and USB, and DAQ boards for measurement-and-control — are consistent with the kind of embedded-system hardware a manufacturer would register its own Ethernet OUI for. This corroborates, without fully proving, that the IEEE registrant is this company rather than a same-named unrelated entity.

This pipeline's slug function also maps a second, unrelated IEEE row — 00:09:A2, "Interface Co., Ltd.", registered at 2-5-12-201 Kyonancho, Musashino-city, Tokyo — onto the same "vendor-interface" bucket after generic-suffix stripping. That registrant is a separately-addressed company with no confirmed identity and is out of scope for this entry; nothing ties it to 00:80:62 or to Interface Corporation.

No CVE is recorded in the NVD, and no malware or threat-intel association surfaced, in an August 2026 web search for 00:80:62 or Interface Corporation. No device-fingerprint record was found in a Fingerbank-focused search as of the same date. IEEE's public the IEEE MA-L registry publishes no registration-date field for any MA-L assignment; a "1998"-style date shown by third-party lookup tools is a database artifact, not an IEEE fact.

OUI 00:09:A2 "Interface Co., Ltd." (Musashino-city, Tokyo) normalizes to the same pipeline slug but is a separate, unidentified registrant — out of scope of this entry [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry 0009A2

Security context

no CVE recorded in NVD, no malware/threat-intel association, no Fingerbank device-fingerprint record, as of an August 2026 web search [Confirmed — negative finding, dated]

Related vendors

none confirmed [Unknown]

Analyst note

a MAC starting 00:80:62 identifies the IEEE MA-L registrant "INTERFACE CO."; identification of that registrant as Interface Corporation (Hiroshima) is supported by a street-level address match and consistent product context but not by a direct IEEE-to-company statement — treat the company identification as Likely, not Confirmed. Do not conflate with the separately-registered 00:09:A2 "Interface Co., Ltd." (Tokyo). [Likely]
