Abstract: In accordance with one or more embodiments, a system can include a plurality of twisted insulated conductors, and a communication device coupled to a first conductive endpoint of each insulated conductor of the plurality of twisted insulated conductors. The communication device can facilitate generating transmission signals at each first conductive endpoint of each insulated conductor of the plurality of twisted insulated conductors. The transmission signals in turn can induce electromagnetic waves that propagate along interstitial areas between the plurality of twisted insulated conductors. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a launching device including a transmitter configured to generate a radio frequency signal on a transmission medium, wherein the transmitter is included in a launching circuit with the transmission medium having an electrical return path. A cylindrical coupler launches the radio frequency signal from an aperture of the cylindrical coupler as a guided electromagnetic wave that is bound to an outer surface of the transmission medium, wherein the guided electromagnetic wave propagates along the outer surface of the transmission medium without an electrical return path. Other embodiments are disclosed.
