USB Line Extender up to 196 ft
The MANHATTAN 179300 extends USB device connections up to 196 ft from the host computer. It supports peripherals such as barcode scanners, printers, cameras, keyboards and mice. Embedded transceivers boost the signal to prevent loss over the 4.5 m cable length. The unit draws power directly from the USB bus so no external adapter is required.
Plug-and-play installation with distance limits
The extender works without driver installation on Windows and Mac systems. Simply connect the device to the computer and the peripheral to the extender. Signal degradation can occur if the 196 ft maximum range is exceeded or if the cable is sharply bent. Ensure the total cable run stays within the specified length for reliable operation.
USB bus power and cable length constraints
The bus-powered design limits available current for the connected device to what the host port supplies. High-draw peripherals may not function correctly over the full 4.5 m distance. The extender does not add power or repeat the signal beyond the rated 196 ft, so daisy-chaining multiple units will not extend the range further.

Questions about this item
How can I verify the Manhattan 179300 USB line extender is working correctly after connecting it?
Connect a USB device such as a barcode scanner or keyboard at the far end; if the device enumerates and operates normally at the full 196 ft distance, the embedded transceivers are maintaining the signal as intended.
What is included with the Manhattan 179300 and what must I purchase separately?
The extender unit with its integrated 4.5 m cable is supplied; you only need to provide the USB host computer and the peripheral you wish to extend — no external power adapter is required because the unit is bus powered.
Which version of the Manhattan USB line extender should I choose for a 196 ft run?
Model 179300 is the single version offered for this distance; its spec lists a maximum reach of 196 ft, so select this MPN when you need to span that length.
