cover plate
Switch box finish
A cover plate is a flat piece of material—usually metal or plastic—that conceals or protects an opening, junction, or mechanism.
Electrical outlets have cover plates that hide the wiring box.
In construction and engineering, cover plates reinforce joints or seal access points: The technician removed the cover plate to inspect the wiring.
Also called a faceplate or access plate depending on the application.
