It’s one of those 3 sided USB sticks.

I think it is a WiFi/Bluetooth USB dongle that can also connect to remote storage over WiFi, whether it is a genuine Rolls Royce accessory I am not sure.

The shape is the same as those 2GB usb sticks that get given away at exhibitions as I have one the same shape.

If you share the full FCC ID on it we might even find a manual for it.

They aren't the same as the pic the OP posted, yes fancy leather clad usb stick but no mention of the radio the FCC ID and ICES-3 markings indicate.

The fact it has an FCC ID plus the Canadian equivalent means there is a transmitter in it, it may also be a USB memory stick.

If someone can share the full FCC ID we can find out what the transmitter is..

All we can say so far is the company who made it started getting FCC certifications after 2013 because the first digit of the FCC ID is a 2.

If only your name didn't have the "M" in it.

It’s genuine.

So how would that work? And what would I do with it?

I have two the same.

I would give it back to the bloke you stole it from.

USB storage are covered by FCC :


Most USB enable devices are designed to use electrical signals to operate at a certain radio frequency within the product. As such, USB enabled devices such as printer and power banks, are regulated by the FCC as well.

USB devices create energy within themself, and they can interfere with other devices when placed nearby. Therefore, the chips contained within the USB devices must be compliant to FCC Part 15.

Examples

USB flash drives
Printers with USB port
Wireless routers with USB port
Power banks with USB port
USB fans

They are under FCC Part 15 Subpart B which deals with unintentional radiators, the device the OP showed has an FCC ID on it so it also has a transmitter in it which I would suspect operates under Part 15 Subpart C for unlicenced intentional radiators.

Note: wireless routers will also need an FCC ID because they are also intentional radiators.

Well the FCC have a very annoying habit of making things public domain so using the FCC ID you can find information relating to the certification of a product including a test report, possibly external and internal photos and other info.

If you want see, go to www.fccid.io and stick the FCC ID in the box, just the characters from the 2 onwards.

Note, this isn't the actual FCC site but a site that provides an easier interface than the real one.

Lastly the FCC ID is a type certification i.e. you test and certify one unit and you can then use the same FCC ID on all of the units you make that are the same as the one tested.

It says this:

FCC ID 2AAUN2355793
2AAUN-2355793, 2AAUN 2355793, 2AAUN2355793, 2AAUN23SS793
Hyperian Global Limited USB memory stick 2355793

It's not the standard USB size though, and it's a bit too sharp for using to remove wax from my ears.

I was hoping for something more interesting than a bog standard usb stick in a fancy bit of leather because they had gone through the hassle and expense of a certification they didn't need.

They could have drafted a Declaration of Conformity or post 2017 an SDoC and saved probably £1500 but I would speculate the end customer might have wanted independent confirmation rather than taking their word for it.

Nothing like taking the path of more resistance...
