About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Why Etsy (ETSY) Shares Are Trading Lower Today

ETSY Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of online marketplace Etsy (NASDAQ: ETSY) fell 3.5% in the afternoon session after extending a sell-off from the previous day as an executive order was signed to eliminate a key U.S. import tax exemption. 

The stock dropped over 8% on Monday and continued its decline as investors react to the end of the "de minimis" exemption, which allowed goods valued under $800 to be imported into the U.S. without taxes or tariffs. The change, set to take effect this Friday, is expected to negatively impact the online marketplace, as many of its sellers offer small, relatively inexpensive items that will now be subject to these duties, potentially making them prohibitively pricey. In response, Etsy has already suspended U.S. shipping label services for several international carriers, including Canada Post and the UK's Royal Mail. This regulatory headwind adds to existing concerns following the company's recent quarterly earnings, where it missed consensus estimates for earnings per share.

The stock market overreacts to news, and big price drops can present good opportunities to buy high-quality stocks. Is now the time to buy Etsy? Access our full analysis report here, it’s free.

What Is The Market Telling Us

Etsy’s shares are very volatile and have had 22 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today’s move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business.

The previous big move we wrote about was 1 day ago when the stock dropped 5.3% on the news that reports that a U.S. tariff exemption for many small online purchases is set to end. 

The exemption, known as 'de minimis,' has allowed many goods from international sellers to be shipped to U.S. consumers without facing import duties. According to reports, the end of this provision is expected to directly affect online marketplaces that connect U.S. consumers with businesses worldwide, with Etsy being specifically mentioned. This policy change could lead to higher prices for buyers or increased costs for sellers on the platform, creating uncertainty for Etsy's business model and potentially impacting future sales volumes.

Etsy is up 5.3% since the beginning of the year, but at $55.93 per share, it is still trading 20.2% below its 52-week high of $70.09 from August 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Etsy’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $440.67.

Here at StockStory, we certainly understand the potential of thematic investing. Diverse winners from Microsoft (MSFT) to Alphabet (GOOG), Coca-Cola (KO) to Monster Beverage (MNST) could all have been identified as promising growth stories with a megatrend driving the growth. So, in that spirit, we’ve identified a relatively under-the-radar profitable growth stock benefiting from the rise of AI, available to you FREE via this link.
