faceplates

Outlet cover panels

Faceplates are protective or decorative covers that fit over the front surface of devices or fixtures.

Light switches and electrical outlets have faceplates concealing the wiring box.

Electronic equipment uses faceplates to present controls and displays while protecting internal components.

In armor or diving gear, the faceplate is the transparent panel protecting the face: The diver's faceplate fogged up.
