The HP L96499-001 fingerprint reader cable is a replacement cable for the fingerprint reader assembly in supported HP notebooks. The HP Pavilion 14-dw0000 service guide identifies this exact part number as the fingerprint reader cable spare part.
The guide lists the cable separately from the fingerprint reader and its bracket, so it is a distinct service component rather than the reader itself. It is intended for repairs where the cable is the part being replaced. The source confirms its role and part identity, but does not specify cable dimensions or connector details.
