faceplate
Socket's decorative frame
A faceplate is a protective or decorative covering for the front of something.
On electrical outlets and light switches, the faceplate is the plate surrounding the controls.
In manufacturing, a faceplate is a disk that holds work in a lathe.
Diving helmets and football helmets have faceplates protecting the face.
The outlet faceplate was cracked and needed replacing.
