SIGNAALMAKERS, Infrastructure cabling in the Netherlands and Belgium
Questions about infrastructure cabling? This page answers the most frequently asked questions about network (Cat6/Cat6A), audio cables, camera cabling, patch cabinets and cable testing. SIGNAALMAKERS works throughout the Netherlands and Belgium as a cabling partner for MSPs, IT companies and organizations. We do the infrastructure - MSP/IT handles configuration and management.
We install, but we do not configure. We pull the cables, terminate, label and test them, and we mount and connect your network equipment. Configuration and management are handled by your MSP/IT partner. The split is clear: we deliver the physical layer connected and tested, you set it up.
We work throughout the Netherlands and Belgium. From server rooms and offices to retail, warehouses, education and healthcare. Infrastructure cabling: network (Cat6/Cat6A), audio and camera.
Cat6 is suitable for gigabit networks. Cat6A supports 10 Gbps on a suitable channel up to 100 metres, typically up to 90 metres of fixed cable plus patch cords. The complete link, connectors, termination and environment determine performance. Shielding is a construction choice, not a feature of every Cat6A cable. Category, route and PoE load are matched to your equipment and growth plan.
New cabling includes a functional connection test. We agree the labels and handover documents your project needs beforehand, such as a cable plan, patch list or photos. Only the items included in the quote are supplied. Electrical standards testing of Cat6/Cat6A and a per-link report are separate work; equipment, test limits, calibration and report format must be confirmed in advance.
Yes. We first inventory which connections are active, create a new layout plan and rebuild the cabinet step by step. We remove dead cables, add cable management, re-label everything and deliver with updated documentation.
MSPs and IT companies are our most important clients: for them we are the permanent cabling partner that does the physical installation while they handle configuration and management. But businesses, retailers and organisations can also hire us directly for network cabling, tested and delivered with a cable plan.
Pricing depends on point count, cable length, category and access. Share a floor plan, point list and photos for a quote. We confirm the intake, price and installation schedule after assessing the project; standards testing is quoted separately.
We respond during business days. Send your location, project scope, point count and requested date. We agree the intake and planning after assessing the work; any priority or response-time arrangement must be confirmed in the agreement.
Yes. We inventory the existing installation beforehand: cable type, patch cabinet layout, naming conventions. The extension connects seamlessly to the existing infrastructure, same labels, same documentation style.
