Abstract

The present invention discloses to a faceplate with a dust-proof shutter (10). In one embodiment, the faceplate includes: a faceplate body (1); a connection port (4) provided in the faceplate body and adapted for plugging and unplugging; a dust-proof shutter for covering the connection port. The dust-proof shutter can move between a closed position and an opened position so that the connection port is switched between a closed state and an opened state; and a dust-proof shutter locating unit (30, 21, 22) is able to locate the dust-proof shutter in the closed position and the opened position respectively, in response to the action of the dust-proof shutter. Particularly, the dust-proof shutter can be held in an opened position where the connection port is in an opened state, and also the dust-proof shutter is capable of being timely returned to a closed position once the connection port needs to be closed.
