A charging cable for an electric or hybrid vehicle has a charging line with a number of conductors for conducting a charging current of at least 2 A. An outer sheath surrounds the conductors and a plug can be attached at an end side for connecting the charging line to a current source or to the vehicle. The charging cable has at least one display area on the outer sheath for displaying an operational state. A passive function element is integrated, which extends along the charging cable, which has a coupling point for light at the end side, and which is designed for guiding the light along the charging cable and for scattering the light in a radial direction. A charging system has such a charging cable for connecting a charging station with a vehicle.
