On: How many kinds of USB-C to USB-C cables are there?

Yeah, you need the mux because you can run a wired Ethernet adapter in over USB at the same time it’s outputing a DisplayPort signal on the port.

That uses the USB 2.0 wires, as far as I can research.

And if it was using a mux to pick signals they wouldn't run at the same time anyway.

Well, I can tell you that it has a mux, anyways — it’s a Pericom PI3USB30532 per iFixit’s teardown. Exactly what for I don’t know.

That's fair.

Though presumably the switch lite doesn't need to support USB at all.
