USB data lines routing

Hello,
I would like to ask what is better? One higher arc or two smaller for length matching? I use mitered arc with 30% miter. Spacing is set according to spacing in my diff pair setting.

Thank you
Regards, Martin

please, don't forget on my post. Thx

Both have their possible advantages.
The smaller arcs keep the signals closer together.
However, a single bigger one can correct the mismatch faster.
Do note that the best place to place them is near the corner that cause the length mismatch.

Thank you qdrives. What about arc traces, not 45 degrees. Where to place length matching when using arcs?
In my opinion.. Near to arcs where the biggest difference arose?

Regardless of arcs or 45 degrees, you want to compensate a close as possible to the length mismatch.
But that is mainly for the high high speed signal.
I do not know if this is USB 2, 3, or 4, but for USB 2 you do not need to put that much effort in it.

Smaller arcs are better to reduce self xtalk

It is the spacing between the traces. A minimum of 3x the line width or 3x H(eigt above return plane)
