Cooper Wiring Devices Mid-Size Sectional Wallplate, Polycarbonate

The Cooper Wiring Devices Mid-Size Sectional Wallplate is a single-gang, decorator-cutout wallplate molded in durable white polycarbonate for long-lasting, reliable device coverage. Designed as part of Cooper's mid-size sectional wallplate system, this plate is configured for the end location of a sectional run, allowing it to terminate a multi-device wallplate assembly cleanly while maintaining consistent alignment with adjoining sections. The decorator-style cutout accommodates standard decorator switches and receptacles for a clean, contemporary appearance. Polycarbonate construction offers strong resistance to cracking, impact, and yellowing over time, making this plate a practical choice for electrical contractors and homeowners alike in both new construction and renovation projects.

Key Features

  • Wallplate Size: Mid-size sectional design coordinates with other mid-size sectional plates for a uniform, multi-gang wall appearance.
  • Durable Construction: Polycarbonate material resists impact, cracking, and discoloration, holding up to years of everyday use.
  • Decorator Cutout: Precisely sized opening for decorator-style switches and receptacles for a clean, modern fit.
  • Single-Gang Configuration: Covers one device opening, suited to standard single switch or receptacle installations.
  • End Location Feature: Special end-location configuration lets the plate properly terminate a sectional wallplate run.
  • White Finish: Classic white color blends easily with most wall finishes and device colors.
  • Sectional System Compatibility: Built to integrate with Cooper's broader sectional wallplate lineup for consistent multi-device coverage.

Cooper Wiring Devices STE26W – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the "end location" designation on the Cooper STE26W wallplate actually mean?
The STE26W is a sectional plate built to sit at the end of a multi-device run. Sectional systems build a multi-gang wall out of separate pieces: an end piece on each side and center pieces between them. So the STE26W closes off one side of the run. If you are building a three-gang sectional wall, you need two end pieces and one center piece, not three of these.
2) Will the Cooper STE26W fit a standard toggle switch?
No. The STE26W has a decorator cutout, which is the rectangular opening used by decorator (paddle) switches and decorator-style receptacles. A standard toggle switch needs a toggle opening and will not fill this cutout. For a toggle opening, the Pass & Seymour SPJ Series plate is a toggle switch plate.
3) Will the Cooper STE26W cover a duplex receptacle?
Only a decorator-style receptacle. The cutout is the decorator rectangle, not the figure-eight opening a standard duplex receptacle needs. For a standard duplex, use a duplex plate such as the Bryant P8 Series 1-gang duplex wallplate.
4) What is the closest equivalent to the Cooper STE26W mid-size sectional wallplate from another brand?
The Bryant NP26W is the nearest cross-brand match in the comparable set. It is an HWS Series 1-gang wallplate, so it covers the same single device opening as the Cooper STE26W, which is a single-gang mid-size plate with a decorator cutout in white polycarbonate. Confirm the Bryant plate's cutout style matches the decorator device you are covering before you swap, since the Cooper plate is specifically molded for decorator-style switches and receptacles.
5) I need a mid-size wallplate but not a sectional one. What should I use instead of the Cooper STE26W?
The Bryant PJ Series is a mid-size (M-size) wallplate for wiring devices and is the option to look at when you want a one-piece mid-size plate rather than a sectional section. The Cooper STE26W is mid-size as well, but it is built as part of a sectional system and is configured for the end location of a sectional run, so it is intended to terminate a multi-device assembly rather than stand alone as a conventional plate.
6) I need a decorator plate for more than one device. Is there an alternative to building a run of Cooper STE26W sections?
Yes. The Cooper STE26W covers one device opening and is configured as the end of a sectional run, so a multi-device layout means assembling several sections. If you would rather use a single molded plate, the Eaton 7729V-SP is a decorator triple-gang wallplate cover that handles three decorator devices in one piece.
7) Is a mid-size wallplate bigger than a standard plate, and will it cover old paint lines?
Mid-size sits between standard and jumbo, so it gives you extra coverage around the device opening without going full oversize. That extra margin is what gets you past scuffed drywall or paint edges left by a previous plate. The STE26W is the mid-size sectional in white polycarbonate. If you need more coverage than mid-size gives, look at a junior-jumbo plate such as the Pass & Seymour SPJ Series.
8) Polycarbonate or metal wallplate for a high-traffic corridor?
Polycarbonate, which is what the STE26W is molded from, resists impact and cracking and will not yellow the way older thermoplastics do. It is also non-conductive, which matters on switch legs in occupied space. Where you want a steel plate instead, for abuse-prone back-of-house or industrial walls, the Mulberry 764 and 765 Series are cold rolled steel combination plates.
9) Can I use the Cooper STE26W as a plain one-gang cover on a single switch box?
Yes. It is a single-gang plate and covers one device opening on its own, so it works as a standalone cover for one decorator switch or receptacle. The end-location sectional design only matters when you are ganging it with other sectional pieces.
10) What is the difference between a sectional wallplate and a one-piece multi-gang plate?
A sectional plate like the Cooper STE26W builds the wall up from separate pieces, so you stock one end piece and one center piece and assemble whatever gang count the box needs. A one-piece plate is a fixed gang count, like the Eaton 7729V-SP decorator triple-gang cover or the Mulberry 76103 three-gang. One-piece is simpler for a known layout; sectional is better when gang counts vary across a job and you want to carry fewer part numbers.
11) What do I use if the opening is a standard toggle switch rather than a decorator device?
The Cooper STE26W is cut for decorator-style devices, so a toggle switch needs a different plate. The Pass & Seymour SPJ Series is a junior-jumbo thermoset wall plate with a toggle switch opening, and the Mulberry 41020 is a 1-gang toggle switch plate from the 4102 Series in gas burner red if you need a color-coded plate for equipment identification.
12) Is a Mulberry steel wallplate a substitute for the Cooper STE26W?
They are not interchangeable. The Cooper STE26W is a single-gang white polycarbonate plate with a decorator cutout, while the Mulberry 76432 and 76532 are cold rolled steel 2-gang combination wallplates in white, from the 764 and 765 Series respectively. Those cover two gangs in steel rather than one gang in polycarbonate, so they suit a different box and a different material spec. The Mulberry 76103 is a steel Princess size 3-gang plate for three duplex receptacles, further still from the Cooper plate.
13) Can I use the Cooper STE26W over a telephone or data jack?
No. The STE26W is a cover plate with a decorator cutout and carries no jack of its own. For voice or data at the wall, the Eaton 35324W is a wallplate with a 4-conductor data/voice modular jack, Type 625B4, and the Eaton 3533-4W is a white thermoplastic surface mount telephone jack wallplate for RJ11/RJ14. Those bring the jack with the plate; the Cooper plate does not.
14) We need light almond instead of white. What alternatives are there to the Cooper STE26W?
The Cooper STE26W is white. In light almond, the comparable set offers Pass & Seymour TradeMaster plates: the TP126-LA is a two-gang combination nylon wallplate and the TP703LA is a 2-gang nylon wall plate. Both are two-gang nylon plates rather than a single-gang polycarbonate sectional, so verify the gang count and device openings against your box before ordering.
15) What should I order to cover an unused box next to a run of Cooper STE26W plates?
The Cooper STE26W has a decorator cutout, so it is not a blank. To close off an empty opening, the Pass & Seymour WPB Series blank wallplate is the part for that job; it comes in brushed aluminum, which is a different look from the white polycarbonate Cooper plate, so account for the finish change if the two sit side by side.
16) I need to match white decorator plates across a whole building. Does this one come in other colors?
The STE26W is white only. For standardizing a property on one color, that is usually the point, since white blends with most device colors. If your existing devices are light almond, the Pass & Seymour TradeMaster TP703-LA is a light almond plate rather than white.
