Wallplate
A wallplate (also known as a faceplate, switch plate, or outlet cover) is the flat, protective, and decorative cover that fits over an electrical switch, outlet, or data port that is mounted in a wall.
Its primary purposes are:
Safety: It covers the electrical box and internal wiring, preventing accidental contact with live wires and protecting the internal components from dust, moisture, and debris.
Aesthetics: It provides a clean, finished look to the wall, concealing the rough opening and the electrical device's mounting hardware.
