MAC address vendor

Shanghai Dare Technologies Co. Ltd. — 2 prefixes (MA-L)

Primary prefix
00:08:5C
Block
MA-L
Status
Active

Summary

// what this is
Shanghai Dare Technologies is registered to MAC prefix 00:08:5C and 1 more in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with 00:08:5C, that block was registered by Shanghai Dare Technologies — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device.
// analyst note
Two independently-registered OUIs, one sharing an address with an already-substantiated related vendor, clear this above a bare single-OUI shell; confidence stays Medium because the exact relationship to Shanghai DareGlobal Technologies and this entry's own device corroboration are both unresolved.

About this vendor.

A MAC address starting 00:08:5C or 00:25:5E belongs to Shanghai Dare Technologies Co. Ltd. (also registered as "Shanghai Dare Technologies Co.,Ltd."), a Shanghai-registered IEEE MA-L holder tied to a Chinese telecom-equipment maker. The company holds two confirmed OUI blocks in the current registry snapshot — a modest but non-trivial footprint, not a bare single-OUI shell registration.

One of the two blocks, 00:25:5E, is registered at 22F, Info Tech Building, No.1555 Kongjiang Road, Shanghai — the identical address used by the separately-registered "Shanghai DareGlobal Technologies Co.,Ltd," which holds six other OUI blocks and has its own vendor entry. Trade-directory listings describe both names as parts of a Shanghai "Dare Group" telecom-equipment family, though IEEE lists them as two distinct organization names, so the exact corporate relationship is not independently confirmed.

The other block, 00:08:5C, is registered at a different Shanghai address (23F, China Merchants Tower, Pudong New Area), suggesting either an earlier registration under a different office or a genuinely separate facility. General trade-directory material describes the wider Dare/DareGlobal product line as ADSL/VDSL modems and routers, IP set-top boxes, VoIP IADs, and wireless local-loop phones, but no device has been independently confirmed to ship specifically under a 00:08:5C or 00:25:5E MAC — the one FCC filing found for this corporate family (FCC ID RS3DB108) names "Shanghai DareGlobal Technologies," not "Shanghai Dare Technologies."

IEEE assignment
2 prefixes → "Shanghai Dare Technologies Co. Ltd." / "Shanghai Dare Technologies Co.,Ltd." (spelling varies slightly across rows), both MA-L [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry 00085C, the IEEE MA-L registry 00255E
Registry / block size
MA-L (24-bit) only; no MA-M/MA-S rows found under this exact org-name spelling [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry
Registered addresses
00:08:5C → 23F, China Merchants Tower, Pudong New Area, Shanghai, CN; 00:25:5E → 22F, Info Tech Building, No.1555 Kongjiang Road, Shanghai, CN 200092 [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry 00085C, the IEEE MA-L registry 00255E
Verified prefixes (both MA-L)
00:08:5C, 00:25:5E [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry
Company relationship
00:25:5E's registered address is identical to the separately-registered "Shanghai DareGlobal Technologies Co.,Ltd" vendor entry's address; trade-directory listings describe both names as part of one Shanghai "Dare Group" family, but IEEE registers them as two distinct organization names — treated here as related, not confirmed-identical
[Likely] — the IEEE MA-L registry, made-in-china.com/showroom/cndaretech/
Device types
general Dare/Dare Group product line per trade-directory listings — ADSL/VDSL modems and routers, IP set-top boxes, VoIP IADs, wireless local-loop phones, wireless APs; not independently tied to these two specific prefixes [Likely] — made-in-china.com, tradekey.com, tradeindia.com, ec21.com
Company status
appears active per current B2B trade-directory listings [Likely] — made-in-china.com/showroom/cndaretech/
Website
no official corporate domain independently verified; a secondary aggregator names "dare-tech.com" as the official site, but it returned HTTP 403 Forbidden on direct fetch [Unknown]
Registration date
none published — IEEE's public OUI data has no date column (Registry, Assignment, Organization Name, Organization Address only); no date attributed to IEEE for either prefix [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry
Security note
no CVE/NVD record found for Dare or DareGlobal-branded devices as of an August 2026 search; a negative finding, not a confirmed clean record [Unknown]
Related vendors
Shanghai DareGlobal Technologies Co.,Ltd (separately registered, 6 OUIs, same trade-directory "Dare Group" family) [Likely] — /mac/vendor/shanghai-dareglobal-technologies/
Analyst note
two independently-registered OUIs plus an address match to an already-substantiated related vendor clear this above a bare single-OUI shell, but the DareGlobal-specific FCC filing and product corroboration should not be read across onto this entry's own prefixes without a confirmed name match.
