How Long Is a MAC Address Exactly?

Hey everyone!

I’ve been trying to wrap my head around some networking basics and I keep wondering, how long is a mac address exactly? I know it’s important for identifying devices on a network, but I want to get the specifics down.

From what I’ve read, a MAC address is usually 48 bits long, right? That translates to 12 hexadecimal digits, but I’m curious if there are any variations or other formats I should know about.

If anyone has more info or examples about how long is a mac address, I’d love to hear your thoughts! Thanks! 😊
