Powered USB Y Cable for POS Systems
The HP BM477AA is a powered USB Y cable designed for point-of-sale environments. It connects compatible HP POS systems directly to a printer's Hosiden power and USB ports. This accessory suits retailers upgrading from serial connections to a powered-USB workflow. It eliminates the need for a separate serial cable in supported setups.
Black Cable with Hosiden and USB Connectors
The black cable links the POS system's powered USB port to both the printer's Hosiden power connector and its USB connector. This dual-end design carries data and power over a single run, reducing cable clutter at the counter. It is built for HP rp3000, rp5700, rp5800 and ap5000 systems. The fixed connectors ensure a secure fit during daily transaction processing.
Passive Power Delivery for Receipt Printers
The cable draws power from the POS system's powered USB port to supply the attached printer. No external power adapter is required, simplifying installation and lowering outlet usage. Passive operation means no fan noise or active electronics to maintain. It supports standard receipt-printing workloads without adding thermal load to the station.
