Cable having a dielectric medium with plural dielectric waveguides disposed therein which are oriented at preferred polarizations

Method for manufacturing a cable, the method comprising the steps:

• provision of first, second, third and fourth dielectric waveguide elements, which are each spaced at a distance from one another and the waveguide elements being twisted respectively by comparison with one another, a preferred polarisation direction of the first dielectric waveguide element differing from a preferred polarisation direction of the second dielectric waveguide element in the cable, and
• the preferred polarisation direction of the first dielectric waveguide element corresponding to a preferred polarisation direction of the third dielectric waveguide element, and
• the preferred polarisation direction of the second dielectric waveguide element corresponding to a preferred polarisation direction of the fourth dielectric waveguide element, wherein an arrangement of the four dielectric waveguides asymmetrically encircles a line crossing a centre point of the cable;
• and
• embedding of the first, second, third, and fourth dielectric waveguide elements into a chamber made of a dielectric medium, or
• embedding of the first, second, third, and fourth dielectric waveguide elements into respective segments of the dielectric medium, which forms the chamber by stranding of the segments.

• a dielectric medium forming a chamber;
• and
• first, second, third, and fourth dielectric waveguide elements, which are each spaced at a distance from one another and each extend along a longitudinal direction of the cable through the chamber,
• the preferred polarisation direction of the first dielectric waveguide element differing from the preferred polarisation direction of the second dielectric waveguide element, and
• the preferred polarisation direction of the first dielectric waveguide element corresponding to a preferred polarisation direction of the third dielectric waveguide element;
• and
• the preferred polarisation direction of the second dielectric waveguide element corresponding to a preferred polarisation direction of the fourth dielectric waveguide element, wherein an arrangement of the four dielectric waveguides asymmetrically encircles a line crossing a centre point of the cable.

Method for manufacturing a cable, the method comprising the steps:

• provision of first, second and third dielectric waveguide elements, which are each spaced at a distance from one another and the waveguide elements being twisted respectively by comparison with one another, so that a preferred polarisation direction of the respective waveguide elements differs by 60° in each case;
• and
• embedding of the first, second and third dielectric waveguide elements into a chamber made of a dielectric medium, or elements
• embedding of the first, second and third dielectric waveguide elements into respective segments of the dielectric medium, which forms the chamber by stranding of the segments.
