| How to debug a USB 3 connection? |

Hi all I have a circuit board that I freelanced out the design of. Had it made and got a pro to solder the USB type C plug and socket on for me (0.5mm pitch I wont touch xD) The board extends the USB Type C socket about an inch from the plug. I can get it to work in USB 2 mode but not USB 3. Sometimes I can get the board I soldered to work in USB 3 but this is very rare. What are my options here to debug this and find out what is going wrong? Thank you Jack |

Seems you have signal integrity problems. If you can - show schematics (at least part in question) and photos of PCB, both sides. Provide links to info/docs of chip used. If you copied (part) of some existing board like devboard of USB chip - mention it as well. |

USB 3 will work even is there is a few cm of wiring on 2 layer board without any impedance matching. Although in such case it will become a radio transmitter killing bluetooth, wifi and wireless mouses nearby. So without giving specifics of that board, it's hard to say why it does not work. |

USB Socket top of board Würth Elektronik 632723300021 USB Plug bottom of board Würth Elektronik 632712000021 Board is 4 layer, the middle 2 are ground only. Also to note, if I flip the cable from the socket to my PC, nothing works at all. No USB 2. |

There might be other errors but on first glance I found this. Those are simply not connected. |
