Dual-purpose wiring device and method of wiring

The present invention relates generally to electrical receptacle outlets and more specifically to a dual-purpose wiring device and method of wiring. The present invention is particularly suitable for, although not strictly limited to, receiving and electrically engaging one or more electrical conductors of a conventional electrical cable for ultimately providing electrical power to sockets selectively engageable by electrical plugs. A method of wiring and a dual-purpose wiring device that can expeditiously receive and electrically engage sheathed/insulated electrical conductors of an electrical cable, thus eliminating the time-consuming and laborious task of having to first unsheathe or strip the electrical conductors and thereafter mechanical engage the conductors to electrical contacts within the electric receptacle outlet box.
