Network cabling for offices
Cat6/Cat6A data points per workstation, PoE runs for access points and IP cameras, and audio cabling where it is needed. Measured, labelled and handed over with a cable plan. Active in the Netherlands and Belgium.
Professional infrastructure for office environments
From workstations to meeting rooms, from wifi access points to IP telephony: we install the cabling that keeps your office running. Cat6/Cat6A runs, balanced audio and camera cabling, all with practical delivery check.
Workstations & network
Cat6/Cat6A runs for data points, PoE for IP phones and access points. Everything neatly finished and labeled.
Wifi & access points
PoE runs to ceiling or wall for wifi access points. MSP/IT handles configuration and roaming.
Audio & cameras
Balanced lines for permanent audio installations and PoE runs for IP cameras. Infrastructure work for installers.
What we deliver for offices
Network Cabling
- Cat6/Cat6A runs for workstations and meeting rooms
- PoE runs for IP phones, access points and cameras
- Patch cabinet professionally organized with labels and diagrams
- Test reports and practical delivery check
Audio & Camera
- Balanced audio cables for permanent speakers and installations
- PoE runs for IP cameras (indoor/outdoor)
- Infrastructure work for audio/security companies, we do cables, they do equipment
We handle the infrastructure, MSP/IT handles configuration
SIGNAALMAKERS installs cabling: pulling runs, terminating, labeling and functional testing. MSP/IT partners install switches, routers, wifi controllers and handle configuration (VLANs, SSIDs, network segmentation). For audio and cameras we work with installers and security companies: we install the cabling, they connect equipment and configure. Clear separation, professional results.
Network cabling for offices: how many data points do you need?
Cabling an office is mostly a calculation up front and tidy work afterwards. How many points per workstation, where the access points go, and how you keep the disruption down while people carry on working. This is how we handle it.
Data points per workstation
A common guideline is two data points per workstation. That sounds like a lot for one laptop, but it leaves room for a docking station, an IP phone or a second screen without a stray switch ending up under the desk. On top of that you count points for access points, roughly one per 100 to 150 m², plus points for IP cameras and any VoIP handsets. We survey on site and advise based on how the space is actually used, not on a standard number.
- Guideline: 2 data points per workstation
- Roughly 1 access point per 100-150 m²
- Extra points for IP cameras and VoIP handsets
- Site survey before we name a number
Finish in an office environment
Office cabling is judged on what you can see. We tuck data points into partition walls, columns and suspended ceilings, so no cable tray runs across a meeting room. We supply wall outlets in the colour that suits the interior: white, grey or a RAL colour. For access points we pull PoE-ready Cat6A to the ceiling point, so the cable is never the limiting factor when a faster access point goes up later.
- Data points in partition walls, columns and suspended ceilings
- Wall outlets in white, grey or RAL as preferred
- PoE-ready Cat6A to every ceiling point for access points
- IP camera cabling taken along in the same routing
Working in a building that keeps running
In an office that is in use we plan per floor or per zone, so a whole floor is never off the network at once. Where disruption really does not work, we work evenings or weekends by arrangement. In let office buildings, multi-tenant premises and shared spaces we agree the routing and the working hours with the building manager before we start.
- Phasing per floor or zone, without network downtime
- Evening and weekend work by arrangement
- Coordination with the building manager in shared premises
Extending what is already there
Not every office project starts from scratch. If you want an extra floor or a handful of extra points, we connect to the existing patch cabinet and adopt the naming convention that is already in use. We first survey what is there and how much of it is still usable. Every new link gets a test report and goes into the updated cable plan, so you end up with one document instead of two.
- Connecting to the existing patch cabinet and labelling
- Survey of the current situation up front
- Test report per new link
- One updated as-built cable plan, no loose attachments
In short: we hand over an office where every workstation, every access point and every camera has its own measured link, with labels that match and a cable plan you can actually use. Configuring switches, VLANs and wifi controllers stays with your MSP or IT department.
