Abstract
A communication system, first and second device-side connectors and cable-side connectors are configured such that, when the first device-side and first cable-side connector are connected to each other, a communication line connection portion of the first device-side connector and the first cable-side connector are connected to each other, and when the second device-side and second cable-side connector are connected to each other, a communication line connection portion of the second device-side connector and second cable-side connector are connected to each other, and a valid/invalid switching circuit is configured to: in a case where the first and second cable-side connectors are connected to the first and second device-side connectors, respectively, render a connection of a termination resistor to a pair of conductors of an internal communication line invalid; and in other cases, render the connection of the termination resistor to the pair of conductors of the internal communication line valid.
