JB Hi-Fi store fitouts across New Zealand
POWERING RETAIL SPACES
When JB Hi-Fi began rolling out its next generation of technology stores across Australia and New Zealand, it needed a power distribution system that was fast to install, reliable, and flexible enough to keep up with their pace of fit-outs.
That’s where OE Elsafe’s modular power solutions came in — distributed in New Zealand by Jackson Industries and installed on the ground by Ryan Electrical Co Ltd. Together, the teams have delivered a clean, plug-and-play power infrastructure that’s now being rolled out store by store across the country.
After success in Australia, JB Hi-Fi turned to OE Elsafe’s New Zealand team for local product management and supply. The brief was clear:
- A modular plug-and-play solution for quick and safe installation.
- Compact, surface-mountable power distribution that could be hidden away.
- A consistent, compliant setup that could be repeated across multiple store sites.
OE Elsafe’s PB Series paired with Wieland interconnecting soft wiring cables, ticked every box.
// PB SERIES – THE PERFECT FIT FOR A FAST, SCALABLE INSTALLATION
Compact and versatile, the PB Series is ideal for a wide range of commercial power and data applications and can be mounted directly to surfaces and screens. The PB Series can be configured with Australian or international power sockets, Data/AV, and OE’s award-winning TUF-R USB device charging.
For JB Hi-Fi’s stores, the ability to screw units directly to surfaces made integration fast and tidy, ensuring cables and components were securely hidden from view.
// WHY THE PB SERIES?
The PB Power Series is compact and versatile, ideal for a wide range of commercial power and data applications. Power entry and exit can be via hardwired cords and/or Wieland GST18 connectors. The PB Power Series can be mounted directly to surfaces and screens.
Ryan Electrical’s installation team appreciated how simple the PB Power Series was to work with. The Wieland soft-wiring system made connecting, routing, and reconfiguring power runs straightforward — no hardwiring required. Each cable connection clicks securely into place, ensuring full engagement and compliance with AS/NZS 61535 safety standards.
The result is a discreet, efficient, and future-ready power solution — built for safety, simplicity, and scalability. From clean cable runs to secure mounting and modular flexibility, every element makes installation and maintenance easier. A simple solution highlighting that less really is more.
