Need support for component USB Hub usebility

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TUSB8042A, TUSB8042

Dear Sir and Madam,

I am not that familiar with USB hubs yet. You see my structure below. Regarding to the speed, USB 2.0 (480MBit) is sufficient but with respect to the future, I think, USB 3.2 is the better option. Do you think, the TUSB8042A is the solution for my application? Or can I go ahead with the TUSB2046x (USB2.0)?

As I mentioned, super high speed is not  in our focus. But for future application, I will consider USB-C connectors with one (or two) USB-B connectors, mainly for memory sticks for updates or to connect an external WiFi stick. Do you think, this is an applicable way? Do you see any obstacles or improvements in my thinking?

From view of our construction, I will have a seperate board with the USB-connectors. The mainbord is connected with cable. I think, solutions are on market available. Do I have to use dedicated ribbon cables and connectors to achieve the same line impedance? Does TI has a dedicated supplier, who has matching components for that?

 If you have some additional application notes regarding to this topic, let me know. Or would you suggest other IC in compare to them I found? 

Thanks,

Jan
