A printed circuit board includes a spread weave of fibers having a first direction and a second direction with corresponding fibers spread more in the first direction than the second direction; and one or more pairs of traces on the spread weave of fibers, wherein the first direction has less differences in dielectric permittivity seen by each trace than the second direction, wherein the one or more pairs of traces are routed according to a routing design that includes one or more fixed regions on the spread weave of fibers, where routing of traces therein is restricted to linear, non-angled routed in the first direction.
