Outsourcing network cabling as an MSP
As a Managed Service Provider, you want one thing: deliver stable, professional IT environments to your clients. We handle the physical layer, network cabling, data cabling and mounting and connecting the equipment, so your services, hardware and modern workplaces land flawlessly. Configuring and managing stays with you.
As a Managed Service Provider (MSP), you want one thing: deliver stable, professional IT environments to your clients. Business internet, secure firewalls, stable WiFi, modern workplaces, VoIP, printers, security, that's your strength. Your team excels at design, licenses, management and support.
But every time you hit the same bottleneck: the physical foundation in the building. The cables. The patch cabinets. The preparation. The mess you don't want your own engineers handling anymore.
This is exactly where Signaalmakers comes in. We do one thing, and we do it extremely well: the physical layer. Network cabling, data cabling and infrastructure, including mounting and connecting your equipment. Configuring and managing it we deliberately leave to you.
Do you recognize this as an MSP?
- You sell internet, WiFi solutions and modern workplaces effortlessly, but lack people to install all the cabling in the building properly.
- Your engineers are gold for design, configuration and management, but you're using them too often as "cable pullers" or "patch cabinet rescue squads".
- Your planning collapses at rollout moments because there's nobody who can prepare the infrastructure on-site properly.
- You don't want to work with subcontractors who also try to sell hardware or services to your client.
- You know money is left on the table simply because you can't get the physical layer scalably organized.
What Signaalmakers does (and what makes us so strong)
We focus entirely on the physical layer: professional network cabling and data cabling in commercial buildings, offices, stores, schools, care facilities and hospitality.
Network cabling and data cabling
- Install UTP cabling (Cat6, Cat6A, Cat7) from patch cabinet to workstations, WiFi locations, desks, cash registers, printers, camera positions and meeting rooms.
- Design and implement cable routes: from distribution panel to floors, via ceilings, trays and shafts.
- Terminate data points on wall outlets, patch panels and keystones.
- Apply structure and labeling so every cable is traceable: your engineer sees at a glance what goes where.
Patch cabinets and infrastructure
- Build, restructure and "de-clutter" patch cabinets.
- Install cable management: bundle, guide and neatly hide cables.
- Prepare connection positions for switches, routers, firewalls, WiFi controllers and other equipment (but without placing or commissioning them ourselves).
- Install conduits, penetrations and mounting points for current and future applications.
Infrastructure for WiFi, audio, cameras and other services
- Data cabling to locations where you want to use access points, cameras, intercoms or audio equipment.
- Install signal lines and reserve lines, so you can expand flexibly later without having to demolish or pull again.
Measure and document
- Perform measurements on data lines so you know the infrastructure is in order.
- Deliver basic documentation with cable numbers, locations, patch cabinet layout and photo registration, ideal for service desk and remote support.
And just as important: what we DON'T do
To be very clear:
- We supply NO hardware: no modems, routers, switches, firewalls, access points, cameras, servers, PCs, printers or phones. Mounting and connecting your equipment we do handle.
- We do NO management, monitoring or support: after handover the network is yours.
- We configure NO network equipment, WiFi solutions, cloud environments, workplaces or security.
- We sell NO internet subscriptions, licenses, management contracts or other IT services to your clients.
Signaalmakers lays the cabling, mounts your equipment, connects it and hands it over tested. Purchasing the hardware, the design, the configuration and the management are and remain entirely yours as MSP or IT service provider.
Why MSPs are happy working with Signaalmakers
Directly recognizable advantages:
Clear role division
Signaalmakers = physical infrastructure. You = hardware, services, contracts and management. No overlap, no competition, no hassle.
No competition toward your client
We're not an IT service provider or MSP. We don't take over client relationships, deliver no licenses and sell nothing to your end client. We're your silent cabling partner behind the scenes.
Scalable without additional FTEs
You don't need to build your own cabling team to grow. With Signaalmakers as a permanent partner, you can sell and deliver more projects without your personnel costs immediately exploding.
More focus for your engineers
Your engineers can focus on what makes your MSP unique: design, configuration, migrations, management, security, monitoring, SLAs. We take the "dirty work" of cables, patch cabinets and infrastructure completely off your hands.
Reduced failure costs, faster delivery
Because the foundation is correct, cables, routes, labeling, patch cabinets and documentation, your engineer can install faster, more structured and error-free. That means fewer failures, fewer repeat visits and a more professional delivery to your client.
Outsourcing network cabling as an MSP: what that looks like in practice
Outsourcing data cabling only works if the handover fits the way you work. We deliver the cable plan, the labelling and the documentation in the convention you already use, not in ours. As-built comes as standard in PDF and Excel; if your CMDB or DCIM needs a different format, we agree that as part of the partnership. Every connection point is measured, so your engineer picks up a cable and simply carries on.
How visible we are is up to you. We can act as a subcontractor, including scheduling appointments with the end client, sending status updates and guiding the handover. Or we stay entirely in the background: you are the point of contact, we are your installers. Either way, we sell nothing to your client.
If you have steady volume, a standing arrangement makes more sense than one-off quotes. Reserved capacity, fixed lead times and material discount are arranged through a subscription. The rates, the subscription tiers and the conditions are on the partner page.
- Cable plan, labelling and documentation in your convention
- As-built as standard in PDF and Excel, other formats for CMDB or DCIM by arrangement

Rates, subscriptions and conditions are on the cabling partner page for MSPs & IT companies.
Always under your brand, white-label if desired
We work 100% for MSPs, system integrators and IT service providers. Want us to work white-label? Then we're "your cabling partner" or "your installers". To the client you're the director, we're the silent force in the background.
Want the rates, subscriptions and conditions? Our cabling partner page for MSPs & IT companies is the place to become a fixed partner.
