Abstract

A communication cable includes a dielectric wave guide (DWG) that has a dielectric core member that has a first dielectric constant value and a cladding surrounding the dielectric core member that has a second dielectric constant value that is lower than the first dielectric constant. An RJ45 compatible connector is attached to a mating end of the DWG. The RJ45 connector is configured to retain a complimentary coupling mechanism on a mating end of a second DWG.
