Abstract
Provided are a communication system and a harness configured to detect a connection of an unauthorized apparatus to a communication line. In a communication system in which a plurality of communication apparatuses perform communication via communication lines, a communication line includes conductive wires for transferring signals and a cover portion that covers the conductive wires. The communication system includes a detection unit for detecting whether or not the cover portion has been removed. If removal of the cover portion of the communication line is detected by the detection unit, it can be determined that an unauthorized apparatus is connected to the communication line.
