Abstract: Disclosed is a dielectric waveguide. A fibre core of the dielectric waveguide is formed by a first fibre core and a second fibre core. The first fibre core and the second fibre core have an intersection in the cross-section of the dielectric waveguide.

Abstract: A cable is provided which has a dielectric medium forming a chamber which can also be filled by the dielectric medium. The cable additionally has a first dielectric waveguide element and a second dielectric waveguide element. The first dielectric waveguide element is arranged at a distance from the second dielectric waveguide element. The first dielectric waveguide element runs along a longitudinal direction of the cable through the chamber formed by the dielectric medium, and the second dielectric waveguide element runs along the longitudinal direction of the cable through the chamber formed by the dielectric medium. The polarization direction of the first dielectric waveguide element differs from the preferred polarization direction of the second dielectric waveguide element.
