Multi-axial fabrics, polymer-fiber laminates, and bodies incorporating same for connecting applications

A hybrid, multi-axial fabric comprising:

• a plurality of reinforcing fibers includes a plurality of first fibers, a plurality of second fibers, and a plurality of third fibers;
• wherein the first fibers have a first orientation within the fabric;
• wherein the second fibers have a second orientation within the fabric, the second orientation differing from the first orientation by a first offset;
• wherein the third fibers have a third orientation within the fabric, the third orientation differing from the first orientation by a second offset;
• wherein the first fibers include a plurality of fourth fibers and a plurality of fifth fibers;
• wherein an elastic modulus of the fourth fibers differs from an elastic modulus of the fifth fibers;
• wherein the fourth fibers account for between 10 wt % to 40 wt % of the first fibers;
• and
• wherein the fifth fibers account for between 60 wt % to 90 wt % of the first fibers.
