I have 2 queries 1) How long is the cable? and if there are more measures available?

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!

Will this cable work for a bar code scanner that uses cat-5 connection on the scanner and usb to a computer?

If your scanner has a console port ,it can connect the usb to a computer

why are reviews saying usb 3 doesn't work usb3 is backwards compatible ?

USB 3.0 can work, but it can't reach USB 3.0 The transmission speed of 0, is only USB2 Speed of 0.

Will this work on a eero router and a Dell laptop?

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.
