Quick Answer: What replaced 8RA46AA?
Discontinued: 8RA46AA | Replacement: 762T5AA
Why HP INC. Discontinued the 8RA46AA
HP INC. 8RA46AA is currently in EOL IN PROGRESS status, which means the product is still available but its discontinuation has been announced. Based on the research available, there is no published HP statement confirming the reason for the 8RA46AA phase-out, no official end-of-life date, and no public notice that explains the timeline. The available data also does not provide definitive public confirmation that 762T5AA is the official HP-designated successor, but it is being treated here as the replacement part based on the supplied product data.
From a procurement and support perspective, this matters because teams still buying 8RA46AA should plan for transition activity now rather than waiting for stock to tighten. When a part such as 8RA46AA moves into EOL IN PROGRESS, buyers typically need to confirm current availability, validate fit with existing monitor fleets, and align future orders around the newer part number 762T5AA. If you are standardizing HP mounting accessories across refresh cycles, using 762T5AA as the forward-looking option can help reduce purchasing friction once 8RA46AA becomes harder to source.
The research does confirm that both products are real and active in the market: 8RA46AA refers to the HP B250 PC Mounting Bracket, while 762T5AA refers to the HP B200 PC Mounting Bracket. Compatibility listings also suggest that 8RA46AA aligns with earlier HP monitor models, while 762T5AA is associated with G5 monitor variants. That pattern is consistent with HP updating accessories alongside monitor generation changes, even though no formal public discontinuation reason for 8RA46AA has been identified.
What's New in the 762T5AA
Weight differences between 8RA46AA and 762T5AA
One clear difference between 8RA46AA and 762T5AA is weight. The HP B250 bracket under part number 8RA46AA is listed at approximately 505 g, while the HP B200 bracket under part number 762T5AA is listed at 533 g. For most deployments, that difference is minor, but it may still matter in tightly controlled desktop setups, shipping calculations, or mounting evaluations where accessory weight is part of the design review.
Physical dimensions
The dimensions also differ. The 8RA46AA HP B250 bracket is listed at 11.5 x 18.13 x 5.7 cm. The 762T5AA HP B200 bracket is listed at 181 x 175.5 x 49.1 mm. Even though these measurements are close in overall footprint, they are not identical. IT teams replacing 8RA46AA with 762T5AA should verify clearance behind the display, cable routing space, and interaction with monitor stands, arms, or wall-mount hardware before ordering at scale.
Included accessories
Another important change is what comes in the box. The 8RA46AA includes a 700 mm DisplayPort cable, while 762T5AA does not include that accessory based on the research provided. This is a practical difference for procurement teams. If your current 8RA46AA deployment workflow assumes an included DisplayPort cable, moving to 762T5AA may require an additional line item on the PO or a review of existing cable stock.
Compatibility focus
The available compatibility information indicates a generational shift. The 8RA46AA works with HP P22v, P22, P22h, P24v, P24, P24h, P27, and P27h G5 monitor-related listings in the supplied research, while 762T5AA is specifically associated with HP P22v G5, P22 G5, P22h G5, P24v G5, P24 G5, P24h G5, P27 G5, and P27h G5. Before replacing 8RA46AA with 762T5AA, confirm the exact monitor SKU in your environment. Similar naming can lead to ordering mistakes if teams rely only on screen size or family name.

Upgrade Checklist
- Identify every deployment where 8RA46AA is currently specified, stocked, or installed.
- Confirm the exact HP monitor models in use, especially whether they are earlier models or G5 variants that align more closely with 762T5AA.
- Review physical fit requirements, including bracket footprint, rear monitor clearance, and any stand or arm interference.
- Account for the accessory difference: if you move from 8RA46AA to 762T5AA, add a DisplayPort cable separately if your deployment depends on one.
- Check remaining availability of 8RA46AA if you need short-term continuity while qualifying 762T5AA.
- Update internal BOMs, procurement records, and standard build documentation so buyers do not continue ordering 8RA46AA after stock declines.
- For larger rollouts, test 762T5AA in a pilot group before broad deployment to verify fit, cable routing, and serviceability.
Bottom Line
The HP INC. 8RA46AA is in EOL IN PROGRESS status, so organizations still relying on it should start planning around 762T5AA. While public research does not confirm an official HP replacement notice, an EOL date, or a discontinuation reason, the supplied data shows meaningful differences in weight, dimensions, compatibility focus, and included accessories that buyers should review before switching.
If you are replacing 8RA46AA with 762T5AA, the main operational check is straightforward: verify monitor compatibility and remember that 762T5AA does not include the 700 mm DisplayPort cable bundled with 8RA46AA.
