#PTN36043 USB 3.1 MUX / RETIMER  - Is it OK to swap the plus and minus pins on the input and output to facilitate routing as with simple MUX ICs or does the Retimer require the polarity to be correct?  Better to have VIAs on one pair than 5.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Don,

Yes, you can swap the +/- on both the input side (AP side) and connector sides (both CON1 and CON2). 

Best regards,

Tomas
