Abstract
A wall plate for electrical wiring, and more specifically, to a flush mounted plate including an inward extended opening for the passage of cables and the like. The plate is capable of being separated, then reconnected and securely interlocked at its mating end to allow for oversized connectors and fittings to be passed therethrough. The wall plate includes a first plate section and a second plate section having cantilever tab-like elements that extend from the ends of each plate section to join the complete plate. Both first and second plate sections further include indentations disposed between the tab-like elements, the indentations coming together to form an access opening when the first and second plates are joined. The first plate section also includes an inward extending cable support passage having an internal sloped wall that projects from the first plate section cutout.
