USB 3.0 SWITCH, TX/RX MATCHING

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TUSB9261

Hi!

I've a MAX14978 which is a USB 3.0, 1 input to 2 outputs switch. I'm trying to use this IC before a TUSB9261.

I made a simple test layout just for the switch (2 layers), but the super speed doens't work. USB 2.0 works fine.

I've connected the differential TX/RX signals in this way:

input TX -> output TX

Input RX -> output RX

I'm wondering if this pin matching is correct or shall I make it in the following way:

input TX -> output RX

Input RX -> output TX

In case the first guess is correct, could be that my poor layour design is killing my USB 3.0 signals?

the input connector (type A) is the one on the left, and the output connectors are the one on the right (type A and uAB).

Thank you! :)
