MAC address vendor

Wuhan Yangtze Optical Technology CO.,Ltd. — 2 prefixes (MA-L)

Primary prefix
00:1A:69
Block
MA-L
Status
Active

Summary

// what this is
Wuhan Yangtze Optical Technology is registered to MAC prefix 00:1A:69 and 1 more in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with 00:1A:69, that block was registered by Wuhan Yangtze Optical Technology — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device.
// analyst note
Two-OUI registrant with independent FCC equipment-authorization corroboration (XPON ONU) and a matching corporate-site address — sufficient verifiable substance beyond the bare IEEE registration to finalize as a real, operating vendor rather than a shell.

About this vendor.

Updated  ·  Confidence: Medium

Wuhan Yangtze Optical Technology CO.,Ltd. (commonly abbreviated YOTC) holds two IEEE MA-L OUI blocks, 00:1A:69 and 90:28:F6, registered to two distinct street addresses in Wuhan's Hongshan district — Guanshan 2 Road and Youkeyuan Road — roughly two decades apart, consistent with a long-running manufacturer that re-registered or expanded its facility footprint over time rather than a single-shot shell filing. YOTC is a real access-network equipment maker founded in 2006 in Wuhan's East Lake High-tech Development Zone ("Optics Valley"), producing PON (GPON/XGPON/XPON) OLT and ONU/ONT hardware, EOC/C-DOCSIS gear, ODN/CDN components, and CATV amplifier/receiver equipment for telecom operators and ISPs, not consumer retail networking. An FCC equipment-authorization filing (grantee code 2BDFB, FCC ID 2BDFBM2-4150) for an "XPON ONU" model M2-4150 independently corroborates the company as an operating PON hardware manufacturer, and the address on the active corporate site (No. 88 Youkeyuan Road, Hongshan District, Wuhan) matches the 90:28:F6 registry row exactly. Caution for future work on this slug: at least three distinctly named "Yangtze Optical" companies operate out of the same Wuhan Optics Valley cluster — Yangtze Optical Fibre and Cable (YOFC), Yangtze Optical Electronic (YOEC), and this vendor, Yangtze Optical Technology (YOTC) — and they must not be conflated; both OUI registry rows and the FCC filing point specifically to "Wuhan Yangtze Optical Technology," matching YOTC only.

Business-data listings
independently listed by Crunchbase, PitchBook, ZoomInfo, and Bloomberg, each showing a 2006 founding date, consistent with the corporate site [Likely — aggregator corroboration, not primary-source verified] — https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/wuhan-yangtze-optical-technologies-co, https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/525585-43
Registration dates
Unknown per IEEE — the IEEE MA-L registry publishes no assignment-date field for either prefix; not fabricated as a placeholder. Third-party site maclookup.app separately shows "Registered on 2006-11-29" for 00:1A:69 and "Registered on 2024-05-15" for 90:28:F6, but these are third-party database-scrape artifacts, not IEEE facts, and are not recorded as registration dates here [Confirmed absence at IEEE; third-party dates noted but not adopted] — the IEEE MA-L registry, https://maclookup.app/vendors/wuhan-yangtze-optical-technology-co-ltd
IANA reference
not applicable — no IANA-reference field exists for IEEE MA-L (OUI/MAC) registrations; left blank rather than invented [Confirmed] — n/a
Security context
Unknown — no vendor-specific CVE, advisory, or known-exploited-vulnerability report found for YOTC, "Wuhan Yangtze Optical Technology," or its ONU/PON line in this pass. The widely-known GPON RCE/auth-bypass pair (CVE-2018-10561, CVE-2018-10562) belongs to a different vendor's firmware (Dasan Zhone / DASAN Networks) and must not be attributed to this vendor

Related-but-distinct vendors
Yangtze Optical Fibre and Cable (YOFC) and Yangtze Optical Electronic (YOEC) are separate companies from the same Wuhan Optics Valley cluster and must not be conflated with this entry [Confirmed] — https://fccid.io/2BDFBM2-4150, https://en.yotc.com.cn/
