An internal unit of an electronic apparatus includes a receptacle to be inserted and removed successfully in any of two specific directions, and a controller circuit electrically connected to the receptacle. A cable includes a connector corresponding to the receptacle. When connecting the connector to the receptacle in one direction of the two specific directions without detecting the connection direction of the connector to the receptacle, the controller circuit successfully performs transmission of at least one of the signal and the power between the plurality of internal units. When connecting the connector to the receptacle in another direction of the two specific directions, the controller circuit does not successfully perform the transmission. The connector includes a connection direction restrictor that allows connection to the receptacle in the one direction and prohibits connection to the receptacle in the other direction.
