1. A communication cable comprising:
- a dielectric wave guide (DWG) comprising a dielectric core member, wherein the core member has a first dielectric constant value; and
a cladding surrounding the dielectric core member, wherein the cladding has a second dielectric constant value that is lower than the first dielectric constant; and
a coupling mechanism attached to a mating end of the DWG, wherein the coupling mechanism is configured to retain a complimentary coupling mechanism on a mating end of a second DWG, wherein the coupling mechanism is an RJ45 compatible connector.

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.
