Communication harness, communication harness set, and relay connector
A communication harness is used for mutual data transmission by differential transmission between at least two electronic devices. The communication harness includes a cable, a first signal line, a second signal line, and a first ground line. The first signal line is surrounded by the cable and transmits a first signal for differential transmission. The second signal line is surrounded by the cable and transmits a second signal for differential transmission. The first ground line is surrounded by the cable. A supply voltage is superposed on the first signal line.
