LCFC(Hefei) Electronics Technology co., ltd — 29 prefixes (MA-L)

LCFC(Hefei) Electronics Technology holds a large multi-block MA-L footprint — 29 distinct OUI prefixes in the IEEE registry, all registered to the identical organization name and to a single industrial site on Yungu Road in the Hefei Economic and Technological Development Area, Anhui, China (postal 230601/230000). The registrant is Lenovo's Hefei manufacturing subsidiary: Lenovo's own published case study describes LCFC as its primary notebook, tablet, and mainboard manufacturing arm, and Netify's Lenovo MAC-prefix resource maps these blocks to the Lenovo brand. In practice, a globally-administered MAC from one of these prefixes most often identifies the Wi-Fi, Ethernet, or Bluetooth interface of a Lenovo or ThinkPad laptop or tablet manufactured at this site. A registrant registering 29 address blocks under one name at one physical site is corroborating evidence of a genuine large-scale manufacturer rather than a bare shell registration. Two caveats matter. First, IEEE publishes no assignment dates for OUI/MA-L blocks; any "date registered" seen on third-party lookup tools is a database artifact, not an IEEE fact, and must not be recorded as authoritative. Second, a same-named-but-apparently-distinct company at lcfc.net.cn markets NVIDIA-Jetson edge-computing/AI hardware — that product line was NOT confirmed to be the same legal entity and is deliberately not folded into this vendor's usage profile.

IEEE assignment

29 prefixes → LCFC(Hefei) Electronics Technology co., ltd, registered Hefei, Anhui, CN [Confirmed] — IEEE MA-L

Registry / block size

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

Total prefix count

29 MA-L blocks in the cached IEEE registry (third-party trackers report ~31, a snapshot that drifts) [Confirmed for 29 per cached registry; ~31 is a third-party count] — the IEEE MA-L registry, https://maclookup.app/vendors/lcfc-hefei-electronics-technology-co-ltd

HQ / country

No.3188-1 YunGu Road (Comprehensive Bonded Zone), Hefei Economic and Technological Development Area, Hefei, Anhui 230601, CN (registry address; six minor formatting/encoding variants appear across the 29 blocks)

[Confirmed] — IEEE MA-L, https://maclookup.app/vendors/lcfc-hefei-electronics-technology-co-ltd

Address discrepancy

28 blocks cite the Yungu Road site; one outlier (prefix 28:D2:44) cites "6 Cui Wei Road, Hefei, Anhui 230000" instead — flagged rather than silently normalized [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry

Company identity

Lenovo's Hefei manufacturing subsidiary — notebook, tablet, and mainboard production (one of Lenovo's largest R&D/production bases) [Likely] — https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/case-studies-customer-success-stories/lcfc/, https://www.netify.ai/resources/macs/brands/lenovo

Device types

Lenovo / ThinkPad laptops, tablets, mainboards (Wi-Fi / Ethernet / Bluetooth interfaces) [Likely] — Netify Lenovo MAC resource, Lenovo case study

Company status

active [Likely] — https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/case-studies-customer-success-stories/lcfc/

Registration date

none — IEEE publishes NO assignment/registration date for OUI/MA-L blocks. Any "date registered" on third-party tools (e.g. maclookup.app per-prefix dates) is a database artifact, not an IEEE fact; do not record or attribute it to IEEE. [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry

IANA Reference

not applicable (OUI/vendor entry, not an IANA-referenced registry) — leave blank; no RFC reference fabricated [Confirmed]

Security / abuse context

no findings. Targeted CVE, botnet, and malware searches returned nothing attributed to this vendor or OUI; absence of findings is not proof of absence. [Unknown]

Sample prefixes (all MA-L)

E8:6A:64, 90:2E:16, E8:80:88, 74:5D:22, 7C:CF:0F [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry

Disambiguation

a separate company at lcfc.net.cn (NVIDIA-Jetson edge-computing/AI hardware) shares a superficially similar name; not confirmed same legal entity — explicitly NOT used for device/usage claims here [Likely distinct] — https://www.lcfc.net.cn/

Analyst note

a globally-administered MAC from these prefixes reliably indicates hardware built at this Lenovo/LCFC site; MAC randomization on the end device's Wi-Fi can still mask it, so don't rely on OUI alone for inventory or access control.
