A truly revolutionary product must offer a clear and obvious path from the past, through the present, and into the future. KCSM Inc. brings just such a product to the building industry.
BiceptacleTM is the next standard in electrical receptacle design which incorporates a revolutionary yet simple concept. BiceptaclesTM can replace all duplex receptacles with practically no change in electrical wiring practices yet provides the user with unparalleled safety, flexibility, and utility.
Users can access multiple hot sockets, multiple switched sockets, or a combination of one hot and one switched socket at every BiceptacleTM location. Simply put, every BiceptacleTM is a conventional dual socket electrical receptacle as well as a switched dual socket receptacle. When BiceptaclesTM are used exclusively, this feature eliminates the need to consider the location of the single "Half-Hot" electrical receptacle when furnishing or decorating a room. More importantly, the need to use hazardous extension cords and splitters for switched lighting is completely eliminated. Architects and builders will also benefit from Biceptacle'sTM flexibility since the bothersome decision of locating the single "Half-Hot" electrical receptacle no longer exists.
The only major difference during installation of the BiceptacleTM will be using 12/3 or 14/3 wire instead of 12/2 or 14/2.
BiceptacleTM design also utilizes no electronics or moving parts. No moving parts (such as switches) assure years of trouble-free service and absence of electronics insures compatibility with any present and future "power wire" networking technologies.
