HP BM477AA

Overview

The HP BM477AA is a powered USB Y cable designed to simplify connections for printers and other peripherals by combining power and data into a single cable. It connects to a powered USB port on a point of sale system or compatible computer, splitting into a standard USB Type A connector for data and a Hosiden plug for power. This setup eliminates the need for separate power bricks or legacy serial cables, making it a practical solution for environments where space and reliability are critical.

This cable is particularly useful in retail counters, hospitality check-in stations, and compact workstations, where it helps keep devices like receipt printers and barcode scanner bases online without clutter. It also serves as a direct replacement or spare for existing setups, ensuring quick and secure connections with its male-to-male locking connectors.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
