Shenzhen TCL New Technology Co., Ltd
Summary
- // what this is
- Shenzhen TCL New Technology is registered to MAC prefix
408BF6and 1 more in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with408BF6, that block was registered by Shenzhen TCL New Technology — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. - // analyst note
- Two independently registered MA-L blocks under an identical registrant name and address family, combined with a named parent-group relationship to TCL Technology Group and a documented TV/set-top-box business scope, indicate an active electronics subsidiary rather than a shell OUI registrant. Security research on TCL-brand Android smart TVs corroborates the device category but is attributed to the TCL brand generally, not confirmed to these specific MAC blocks.
About this vendor.
A MAC address beginning with 40:8B:F6 or 5C:AD:76 belongs to Shenzhen TCL New Technology Co., Ltd, a Shenzhen-based subsidiary of TCL Technology Group. Devices using these prefixes are typically Android-based smart TVs or set-top-box-adjacent embedded hardware from the TCL brand.
IEEE's registry lists two separate MA-L (/24) assignments under this exact registrant name: 408BF6, registered to the TCL Building at #5 Central Nanhai Road, and 5CAD76, registered to the TCL Multimedia Building at #1001 Zhongshan Park Road -- both in Shenzhen's Nanshan District, Guangdong. IEEE does not publish assignment dates for either block.
The registrant is identifiable beyond a bare OUI filing: it operates from TCL's Shenzhen multimedia campus, and third-party company profiles describe its business scope as TV software, network set-top boxes, and digital communication equipment, with a substantial patent portfolio. Two independently registered blocks under the same name and address family reinforce that this is an active manufacturer, not a shell registrant.
Security researchers have documented vulnerabilities in TCL-brand Android smart TVs, including an unauthenticated information-disclosure flaw (CVE-2020-27403) and an unauthenticated denial-of-service flaw in UPnP/DLNA handling (CVE-2025-55972), plus a 2020 disclosure of additional flaws and remote-modification concerns. These findings target the TCL brand generally; no source ties them to MAC traffic from 408BF6 or 5CAD76 specifically.
