CHECKOUT COUNTER POWER & DATA SUPPLY
Counting among the most dynamic zones in retail, checkout areas rely on a structured, pluggable power and data supply that forms the basis for quick reconfigurations, high operational reliability, and and smooth operations during store hours.
TYPICAL REQUIREMENTS
IN THE CHECKOUT AREA
- High density of devices (checkout, scanner, scale, monitor, IT, heating)
- Short reconfiguration cycles and frequent adjustments
- Clear separation of power and data lines
- Minimal downtime during ongoing operations

SYSTEM STRUCTURE AT A GLANCE
The gesis® distribution box on the cable tray is supplied with AV and UPS mains. In the IT area, the data lines are routed in a structured manner. The connection from the ceiling to the double checkout counter is pluggable via pre-assembled gesis® CLASSIC connection cables and patch cables.
IN EVERY CHECKOUT COUNTER
- Distribution box for power supply
- Socket distributor for end devices
- RJ45 data ports
- Placement of a switch possible
TYPICAL APPLICATION AREAS
- Supermarkets & consumer markets
- DIY stores & specialty stores
- Shop-in-shop concepts
- Temporary checkout solutions
ADVANTAGES AT A GLANCE
✅ Modular installation — rewiring: none
Thanks to pre-assembled, circuit-specific coded cables for error-free installation
✅ Pluggable electrical installation according to DIN EN 61535
For a standards-compliant, safe, and reliable power supply
✅ Integrated Class 3 overvoltage protection
Ensures high operational reliability during ongoing operations
✅ Extended inspection intervals—from 2 to 4 years
Thanks to a permanently installed, standards-compliant electrical infrastructure
✅ Fast adaptation, easy retrofitting and expansion
Thanks to pluggable system components — intervention in the existing installation: none
✅ Clear structure and order in the checkout counter
Thanks to central power distribution and defined connection points
THE RIGHT COMPONENTS FOR CHECKOUT SUPPLY
Industrially pre-assembled gesis® system components
INFRASTRUCTURE CABLING
Flexible flat cables for power supply over cable trays—for minimal installation effort, clear structure, and efficient installation in the checkout area.
DISTRIBUTION BOX
Central power distribution with integrated protection. The gesis® distribution box provides decentralized fuse protection and connects power and IT systems in a structured manner via RJ45.
DEVICE OUTLETS
Pluggable, modular, and extensible, ideal for changing loads in the checkout counter. Device outlets supplied via gesis® enable long maintenance intervals and a simple, reliable power supply.
