48-bits. Probably so that there would be enough for every network device to have a worldwide unique address. This 48-bit address space contains potentially 2^48 or 281,474,976,710,656 possible MAC addresses. (2 to the 48th power.)
Which will probably also run out (some day?) like IPv4 is running out and will be supposedly fixed by IPv6 which has a larger address spac
OUI portion, as the registering body for OUI is utilized in the first 3 octets of a MAC address to identify the manufacturer of a network enabled device.
Coming from the work area, what is the next piece of equipment that the Cat cable connects to?

48 bit
48 bits is a typical MAC address in bits.
There are 24 bits, or six hex characters, for the preamble of the MAC address (i.e., 00:11:22 in the MAC address 00:11:22:33:44:55 or 0011.2233.4455).
A MAC address consists of 48 bits, usually represented as a string of 12 hexadecimal digits

MAC address is the Layer 2 based unique address assigned (burned) to Network Interface Card. Out of 48 bits First 24 bits are assigned to Manufacturers (Of NIC Cards) & other 24 bits are assigned to each NIC by Manufacturer. 48 bits in MAC address provides unexhaustive possibility in near time for manufacturing NICs with unique identity number.
A Mac address is a 48bit addressing scheme (usually represented in HEX). There are 8 bits in a bytes therefore it is 6 bytes long.
The Media Access Control address (MAC address) is a 48 bit number that identifies equipment (computers, printers etc.) connected to a network - these connections are called Nodes. The Mac address number is usually set by the manufacturer of the equipment.
32 bits in a IPv4 address
You need 20 bits of address bus to address 1 Mb of memory.
How many bits are there in a data link layer ethernet address?
a TcP IPv4 ip address has 32 bits.
It takes 10 bits.
