API-K MAC Addresses
This page provides information about MAC addresses and OUIs assigned to API-K. The Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI) is the first 24 bits of a MAC address and is assigned by the IEEE to uniquely identify a vendor or manufacturer.
About API-K MAC Addresses
MAC addresses beginning with EC:DB:86: are manufactured by API-K. When you see a device on your network with this OUI prefix, it indicates that the device was manufactured by API-K.
The IEEE assigns OUI prefixes to manufacturers to ensure uniqueness in the global networking ecosystem. API-K has been assigned the OUI prefix ECDB86 (among others) for use in their network devices.
Common API-K Devices
Devices manufactured by API-K that you might encounter on networks include:
- Network interface cards (NICs)
- Routers and switches
- Wireless access points
- IoT devices
- Embedded systems
- And other networking equipment
Identifying API-K Devices on Your Network
To identify API-K devices on your network:
- Use network scanning tools to list devices on your network
- Look for MAC addresses starting with any of the OUI prefixes listed in the sidebar
- Use our MAC address lookup tool to confirm the manufacturer
This can be particularly helpful for network inventory, troubleshooting, and security auditing.
MAC Address Format
A complete MAC address consists of 48 bits (6 bytes) and is typically represented in hexadecimal format with each byte separated by a colon or a hyphen. For API-K devices, the MAC address would look like:
EC:DB:86:XX:XX:XX
The first three bytes (EC:DB:86) identify the manufacturer as API-K, while the last three bytes are unique to each device.
