HP Powered USB Y Cable

The HP BM477AA is a USB Y cable that lets you power and connect a printer or other peripheral through a single powered USB port. One end plugs into the powered USB port on a point of sale system or compatible computer, and the cable branches into a standard USB Type A connector for data and a Hosiden plug for power. By combining power and data in one tidy assembly, it removes the need for a separate power brick or legacy serial cable.

This design is especially useful at retail counters, hospitality check-in stations, and any workstation where space is tight and reliability matters. A receipt printer, barcode scanner base, or similar device can stay online without loose adaptors tangled behind the counter. Technicians who are shifting an older setup to powered USB will also appreciate that the cable works with existing hardware, making the transition straightforward.

If the original cable has been misplaced or you simply want a dependable spare on hand, the BM477AA functions as a direct replacement. The male-to-male connectors lock in firmly, and the compact packaging slips easily into a service kit, so field swaps are quick and hassle-free.
