Some additional input on this subject.  The loss associated with the 
cutoff frequency of  higher modes is reflective in nature and not 
dissipative.
It will occur in perfectly lossless xlines. 
The multiple reflections would cause a condition of resonance 
which practically lead to a reflection coefficient of |1|.
Since a coax line would act as a bandpass filter; its maximum
operating 'cutoff' frequency is associated with the lowest 
cuoff frequency of higher modes, the TE11.
The equation quoted earlier in the thread, is an 
approximation of the TE11 mode cutoff frequency for coax lines.

Elie
