MAC address vendor

Wuxi Funide Digital Co., Ltd — 2 prefixes (MA-L)

Primary prefix
14:AB:56
Block
MA-L
Status
Active

Summary

// what this is
WUXI Funide Digital is registered to MAC prefix 14:AB:56 and 1 more in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with 14:AB:56, that block was registered by WUXI Funide Digital — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device.
// analyst note
Substantive company (2 OUI blocks + independently corroborated identity/product line) at Likely/Medium confidence rather than High, given the absence of FCC/LinkedIn/security corroboration used for higher-confidence vendors.

About this vendor.

Updated  ·  Confidence: Likely

Wuxi Funide Digital Co., Ltd holds two separate IEEE MA-L OUI assignments — 14:AB:56 and E8:55:40 — both registered to the identical organization name but to two different site addresses within Wuxi's Xishan District, Jiangsu, China, which is itself a useful signal: a single-address shell registrant rarely re-registers a second block under a distinct street address years apart. The company's own site (funide.com) describes a 1994-founded manufacturer with roughly 25,000 square meters of workshop space and 1,000+ employees, making infrared, 2.4G RF, Bluetooth, and WiFi remote controls alongside DVB-S/FTA digital set-top-box receivers. An independent third-party B2B listing on Made-in-China.com corroborates the company name, Wuxi location, and the same product focus (digital receivers, remote controllers, set-top boxes) without being derived from the vendor's own site, which pushes this past a bare-registry shell. What could not be corroborated: no FCC equipment-authorization filing, no LinkedIn presence, and no CVE or security-advisory record turned up under the company name — those gaps are recorded as sourced Unknowns rather than assumed clean. On a home or SOHO network, a device carrying either of these prefixes is most plausibly a WiFi/Bluetooth remote-control dongle or an STB companion peripheral, not standalone network infrastructure.

IEEE assignments
14:AB:56 and E8:55:40 → "WUXI FUNIDE DIGITAL CO.,LTD" [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry (lines 17304, 30383); cross-checked against the Wireshark manufacturer database (lines 19985, 54602)
Registry / block size
MA-L (24-bit OUI) for both assignments; no MA-M or MA-S blocks found for this org [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry, the IEEE MA-M registry, the IEEE MA-S registry (no matches in the latter two)
Registered addresses
14:AB:56 → No. 38 East Chunhui Road, Xishan Economic & Technology Development Zone, Wuxi, Jiangsu, CN 214101; E8:55:40 → No.55 Youshen Road, Yunlin Street, Xishan District, Wuxi, Jiangsu, CN 214101 (two distinct addresses, same district) [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry lines 17304, 30383
Company status
active, dedicated corporate website with company profile and product catalog [Likely] — http://www.funide.com/ (page content retrieved via search-summary excerpt after a direct-fetch connection reset; not independently re-verified by a second successful direct fetch)
Device types
infrared remote controls, 2.4G RF remote controls, Bluetooth remote controls, WiFi remote controls, DVB-S/FTA digital satellite set-top-box receivers [Likely] — http://www.funide.com/, https://www.made-in-china.com/showroom/digitalreceivers/
Company substance
two independently-sourced angles (funide.com company profile + a third-party Made-in-China.com marketplace listing) corroborate the same company identity, city, and product line beyond the bare IEEE registration — sufficient to treat this as a real operating manufacturer rather than a shell registrant, though FCC/LinkedIn/security corroboration (used for higher-confidence vendors) is absent
[Likely] — http://www.funide.com/, https://www.made-in-china.com/showroom/digitalreceivers/
Security context
no CVE, vendor advisory, or CISA KEV entry found under the company name in targeted searches; this is a sourced null, not a claim of a clean record [Unknown] — (no source found)
Registration dates
IEEE publishes no assignment/registration date for either MA-L block (the IEEE MA-L registry has no date column); do not attribute a date to IEEE. A third-party aggregator (maclookup.app) shows "Oct 30, 2019" for 14:AB:56 and "Oct 26, 2023" for E8:55:40 — these are that site's own database-scrape artifacts, not IEEE facts, and are excluded from any IEEE-attributed date field [Confirmed — absence of IEEE date] — the IEEE MA-L registry; https://maclookup.app/vendors/wuxi-funide-digital-co-ltd (artifact-only citation, not used as an IEEE date)
IANA reference
not applicable — no IANA-reference field exists for IEEE MA-L OUI registry entries [Confirmed] — (n/a by definition)
