14. Cable having:

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.
