TUSB4041I: USB Connector Shell GND

Part Number: TUSB4041I


Hi

I'm designing USB HUB application with TUSB4041I, and I refer to the schematic of TUSB4041I EVM.

I have a question about USB connector shell connection.

What is the purpose of pin8 connected to GND through RC in parallel?  

Can I connect shell to GND directly on my application?
