Help trying to identifying mystery device

Wanted to figure out what type of device or more specifically what device was trying to connect my Mac through MAC address. Has been consistently giving connection requests asking to see if the code at the bottom of the prompt matches with the one on the "Mystery device". I checked the OUI of the device however it comes up with Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. Did my research on the company and they make wifi and bluetooth boards for a plethora of companies so I couldn't pinpoint it to something specific. Made a post about random bluetooth questions before however trying to figure out what the device is keeps scratching my curiosity. Any help or advice in the situation would be appreciated as well as if this is not one of my devices whether I should be concerned

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 14.5

It's a Bluetooth device, so it has to be something relatively close to your Mac (maximum of about 30').

If you have an iPhone, iPad or any other device that uses Bluetooth, check the Bluetooth address in each device to see if any of them match the 2C:4C:C6:B1:5B:94 address in the message.

If you are not using Bluetooth on your Mac, just turn off Bluetooth. If you are using Bluetooth (e.g. for your keyboard or mouse), then next time this connection request comes up, click "Ignore this device."
