Claim 10:
11. A millimeter-wave dielectric waveguide connector complex, comprising:
a first connector, including:
a first material, and
a second material, at least partially around the first material, wherein the second material has a dielectric constant that is less than a dielectric constant of the first material,
a first connector interface, and
a second connector interface, opposite to the first connector interface; and

a second connector to mate with the first connector, wherein the second connector includes:
a first material, and
a second material, at least partially around the first material, wherein the second material has a dielectric constant that is less than a dielectric constant of the first material;

wherein the first connector and the second connector meet at a first connector interface of the first connector, the first connector or the second connector includes a third material such that, when the first connector and the second connector are mated, the third material is at least partially around the second material of the first connector or the second material of the second connector, and wherein the third material has a loss tangent that is greater than a loss tangent of the second material.
