The invention relates to: a conductor line () for powering at least one device () that can travel along the conductor line (), comprising a first elongated conductor lane () and at least one other, second elongated conductor lane (), wherein the first () and second () conductor lanes comprise a first () and a second () contact opening, respectively, running along the length of the respective lane, for holding a part () of a first () and a second () respective conductor contact of a collector () of the device (); a collector () comprising at least one first conductor contact () provided for engaging into a first contact opening () running along the length of a first conductor lane () of the conductor line () and for electrically connecting to the first conductor lane (); and a conductor line system () formed therefrom. The invention accomplishes the objective of enabling a simple, fast, but non-mistakable connection of a specific conductor contact to a specific conductor lane of a conductor line, using a conductor line (), a collector () and a conductor line system (), wherein the second contact opening () of the second conductor lane () is adapted so that the first conductor contact () provided for connecting to the first conductor lane () cannot engage into the second contact opening () and cannot be connected to the second conductor lane ().
