HIGH LEVEL HARDWARE
MAC address prefix 00:00:FD is registered to HIGH LEVEL HARDWARE in the IEEE OUI registry. Any device whose MAC address begins with 00:00:FD has a network interface built by HIGH LEVEL HARDWARE. This prefix (the OUI, or Organizationally Unique Identifier) is assigned by the IEEE and is the first three octets of the address — it covers every MAC from 00:00:FD:00:00:00 to 00:00:FD:FF:FF:FF.

FAQ
- Which company owns MAC address prefix 00:00:FD?
- MAC address prefix 00:00:FD is registered to HIGH LEVEL HARDWARE in the IEEE Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI) registry. Any device whose MAC address begins with 00:00:FD has a network interface built by HIGH LEVEL HARDWARE.
- What is the OUI 00:00:FD?
- 00:00:FD is an Organizationally Unique Identifier — the first three octets (24 bits) of a MAC address, assigned by the IEEE to HIGH LEVEL HARDWARE. It covers every address from 00:00:FD:00:00:00 to 00:00:FD:FF:FF:FF, or 16,777,216 addresses in total. It is also written 00-00-FD.
- How do I find the manufacturer of a MAC address?
- Take the first three octets of the address — in 00:00:FD:00:00:00 that is 00:00:FD — and look that prefix up in the IEEE OUI registry. If the second-lowest bit of the first octet is set, the address is locally administered (a randomized or private MAC), which belongs to no manufacturer and will not resolve; modern phones and laptops use these by default on each network.
- Where is HIGH LEVEL HARDWARE located?
- HIGH LEVEL HARDWARE is listed at PO BOX 170 WINDMILL ROAD GB ENGLAND in the IEEE OUI registry entry for 00:00:FD. This is the address the organization registered with the IEEE, which may differ from its current operating address.
