Abstract

The present disclosure envisages a cap for covering a plug opening. The cap comprises at least one recessed portion having a cross section complementary to a cross section of the plug opening, wherein a first operative end of the recessed portion is fitted into the plug. A top lid is configured on the recessed portion. The top lid and the at least one recessed portion are adapted to prevent ingress of foreign particles to the plug. A lanyard extends from the recessed portion, and a ring is configured at a free end of the lanyard. The ring is adapted to be fitted on a body of the plug. The lanyard and the ring allow the cap to remain attached to the plug in the configuration when the at least one recessed portion is fitted on or not fitted on the plug.
