MAKUS Inc. — 2 prefixes (MA-L)
Summary
- // what this is
- Makus is registered to MAC prefix
00:0D:84and 1 more in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with00:0D:84, that block was registered by Makus — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. - // analyst note
- Consolidated 2-OUI vendor entry. Company identity and business substance are well-documented; do not infer device types or product lines from the OUI alone absent corroborating source.
About this vendor.
MAKUS Inc. (매커스, KRX:093520) is a South Korean, KOSDAQ-listed semiconductor distributor and technical-solutions provider headquartered in Seoul, spun off from Gold Pacific in December 2006 and publicly listed in February 2007. The company represents chip lines including Xilinx (since 1997), Renesas, Intersil, and MACOM to roughly 500 Korean IT and electronics manufacturers, pairing component distribution with circuit-design and firmware-development support for its customer base — a business model that goes well beyond a bare single-purpose OUI registrant. IEEE's MA-L registry lists two distinct blocks under the Makus name family: 00:0D:84 ("Makus Inc.") and 00:15:81 ("MAKUS Inc."), both tied to the same Seoul street address (4F Daedo Bldg., 748-14 Yeoksam-dong, Kangnam-gu) but with an inconsistent country field between the two cached registry rows (KR vs. US) — reported here as a likely data artifact rather than silently corrected. Neither OUI carries a published assignment date, and no source located ties either prefix to a specific device or product line; this entry is finalized on verifiable company substance (public listing, named distribution partnerships, two-OUI footprint), not on device-level corroboration, which stays Unknown.
- IEEE assignments
- 00:0D:84 "Makus Inc." and 00:15:81 "MAKUS Inc." (both MA-L) [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry lines 36938 and 28666; cross-listed the Wireshark manufacturer database lines 3443 and 5488
- Registry / block size
- MA-L (24-bit OUI), 2 assignments [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry
- Registered address
- 4F Daedo Bldg., 748-14 Yeoksam-dong, Kangnam-gu, Seoul, postal 135-080 [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry (identical street/postal on both rows)
- Country field discrepancy
- one cached row tags the address KR, the other US, despite an identical Seoul street/postal — reported as a likely database artifact, not corrected [Likely] — the IEEE MA-L registry lines 36938, 28666

- Device/product corroboration for either OUI
- Unknown — no source (company site, MAC-vendor lookup aggregators, general web) ties 00:0D:84 or 00:15:81 to a specific product or device line [Unknown]
- Company status
