A cable assembly for connecting an electronic device to another electronic device and/or to a signal source. The cable assembly comprises a first connector and a second connector and a plurality of conductors connected between the connectors. The first connector may comprise receptacles for receiving a circuit-interrupter that can open a circuit in the cable assembly when an undesired signal (e.g., a over-voltage signal or an over-current signal) is applied to the cable assembly. The circuit-interrupter may comprise a fuse, such as a non-resettable fuse or a resettable fuse. The first connector may be arranged for connection to an automobile and the second connector may be arranged for connection to an electronic device operable for diagnosing and/or servicing the automobile.
