1. A bio signal monitoring system, comprising:
a fixed electrode configured to connect to a bio signal monitoring system via a cable; and
an integrated electrode coupler adapted to be attached to a body of a patient, comprising first and second divisions, each comprising an electrical connector;
wherein the fixed electrode is configured to directly connect to the electrical connector of the first division and transmit a signal acquired by the fixed electrode to the bio signal monitoring system via the cable,
wherein a removable electrode is configured to selectively connect to the electrical connector of the second division via a removably connectable extension cable, and
wherein a first end of the extension cable is in contact with the electrical connector of the second division and a second end of the extension cable is directly connected to the removable electrode and transmit another signal acquired by the removable electrode to the bio signal monitoring system via the extension cable and an electrical pass-through wire of the cable without interfering with the signal of the fixed electrode.
