What Steren Solutions does

Steren Solutions is a privately held US connectivity and networking products distributor headquartered in San Diego, California, operating since 1956 with approximately 152 employees. The company sells a catalogue of 2,000+ products spanning HDMI, fiber optic, Cat5e/Cat6 Ethernet, coaxial, and audio cables, alongside networking hardware (patch panels, keystone jacks, wall plates), audio/video distribution equipment (splitters, A/B switches), power management solutions (surge-protected power strips, universal adapters), and professional testing instruments including its patented handheld HDMI tester (US Patent 9,565,427). The Signature Tester line represents a higher-margin proprietary category featuring ruggedized, field-grade diagnostic tools for professional installers.

The company operates a dual B2B/B2C go-to-market: a direct e-commerce storefront (sterensolutions.com) serves both retail consumers and approved business accounts, with a dedicated wholesale program offering tiered volume pricing, private-label/custom branding, bulk order support, and a 30-day return / 1-year warranty policy. Target customer segments include professional installers and contractors, resellers and distributors, Multiple Service Operators (MSOs), and satellite installers. Marketing is executed through content marketing (installer-focused blog), email newsletter, organic social (Twitter/X, LinkedIn), and SEO for the e-commerce site. International orders are routed through an InternationalCheckout.com partnership rather than direct international operations. Certifications displayed include CPUC, DGS, SGS, NMSDC, and MBE, supporting government and minority-business enterprise contracting channels. Revenue is generated primarily through hardware product sales with a wholesale/distributor sales overlay on the B2B side.
