## Questions & Answers

**Q: I have 2 queries

1) How long is the cable? and if there are more measures available?**
A: The cable is 6ft,Before using, you need to go FTDI website  to download the driver corresponding to your computer system and install , it can work. Good luck!

**Q: Will this cable work for a bar code scanner that uses cat-5 connection on the scanner and usb to a computer?**
A: If your scanner has a console port ,it can connect the usb to a computer

**Q: why are reviews saying usb 3 doesn't work usb3 is backwards compatible ?**
A: USB 3.0 can work, but it can't reach USB 3.0 The transmission speed of 0, is only USB2 Speed of 0.

**Q: Will this work on a eero router and a Dell laptop?**
A: You should always look at the routers specs. Routers usually have 1 or more Rj45 port(s) then it should work, but there may be something on the router you'll have to configure to allow network connectivity.

If your laptop has a usb port it should work.
Hope that helps.
