TUSB1044: Placement consideration

Part Number: TUSB1044

Hello team,

Here is a question about the retimer and redriver placement consideration:

1. Retimer have CDR inside, so it may have the requirement about the input signal quality, so I must consider the loss before retimer input, but redriver only have the physical emphasis, doesn't have the specific requirement about the input signal quality, can I say it's the same wherever I put retimer within the trace?

2. Why always recommend put TUSB1044 close to the connector?

Looking forward to your reply.

Thanks.
