Are you refering to the FCC ID (Federal Communications Comission)
found on the back of some electronic products? The first three
characters of the FCC ID identify the manufacture of the equipment.
The number, if one exists, is clearly labeled FCC ID.
For example, on the bottom of my cordless mouse there is a label FCC
ID DZL201385, The back of my computer monitor has a label FCC ID
AK8GDM400PS.
Two Televisions, a digital camera, a cable modem, a USB hub and an
oscilloscope I have nearby have no FCC ID labels. I'm not sure of the
requirements for having an FCC ID on a product.
If you have an FCC ID number you can find some very basic information
about the equipment, including who manufactured it, here:
