How does the cable length of IEEE 1394a compare to typical USB cable lengths?

Longer
Shorter
The same
Varies too much to say

The correct answer is: Shorter

USB cable lengths are usually shorter than IEEE 1394a cable lengths. USB cables can range from 0.2 to 5 meters, while IEEE 1394a cables can range from 4.5 to 72 meters. Option A is incorrect because it states that IEEE 1394a cables are longer, which is not true in most cases. Option C is also incorrect because, as stated, USB cable lengths are typically shorter than IEEE 1394a cable lengths. Option D is too vague and does not provide an accurate comparison between the two cable lengths.
