USB signal extender MANHATTAN 179300 — USB extension up to 60 m

MANHATTAN 179300 USB signal extender provides a wired solution to extend USB connections up to 60 meters. Designed to transmit standard USB signals over longer cable runs, this extender enables placement of peripherals such as keyboards, mice, printers and webcams far from the host computer without modifying host hardware. The unit is intended for stable, low-latency connections in office environments, meeting rooms and fixed installations where direct USB cabling distance would otherwise be insufficient.

Advantages

The MANHATTAN 179300 extender supports reliable signal transmission across extended distances and reduces the need for additional host-side adapters. It preserves plug-and-play usability for most USB peripherals and eliminates signal loss typical of using multiple passive USB cables or unsupported hubs. Its wired design avoids wireless interference and provides consistent connectivity for devices that require steady data flow.

Suitable for

• Extending keyboard and mouse connections in conference rooms and classrooms
• Remote placement of printers and scanners in office layouts
• Positioning webcams or document cameras for presentations and streaming
• Fixed installations where USB devices must be separated from the host computer

Key specifications

• Maximum extension distance: up to 60 meters
• Connection type: wired USB signal extension for standard USB peripherals
• Supported devices: keyboards, mice, printers, webcams and other general USB peripherals
• Intended use environments: offices, meeting rooms, classrooms and fixed installations

How to use

Connect the host-side unit to the computer’s USB port and connect the remote-side unit to the peripheral using appropriate USB cables. Route the cable between units up to the maximum supported distance of 60 meters. Power requirements depend on the connected peripheral; if a device requires external power, connect its power supply as specified by the device manufacturer. After connections are made, the operating system should recognize most standard USB peripherals automatically without additional drivers.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use quality shielded USB cabling and avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines. If connecting power-hungry devices, verify whether external power is needed to ensure stable operation. Test peripheral functionality after installation to confirm proper recognition and data transfer.
