1. A cable harness configurable from a neutral state to one of at least two configuration settings, the cable harness comprising:
- a set of conducting wires bound together and having at least a first end and a second end;
a connector disposed at the first end of the set of conducting wires for connecting to a system and adapted to provide one or more of signals and electrical power from the set of conducting wires to the system; and
a configuration device adapted to configure the cable harness from the neutral state to the one of the at least two configuration settings,wherein the set of conducting wires comprises a configuration port disposed intermediate the first end and the second end of the set of conducting wires and adapted to mate with the configuration device adapted to configure the cable harness.

Abstract
There is described herein a harness (106) that remains neutral until configured by a configuration device (110). Wires that connect to specific pins responsible for the configuration of a system are taken out and connected to a configuration port (108) on the harness (106). The configuration port (108), when mated with the configuration device (110), sets a configuration setting of the system. The configuration device (110) may be used to set the power and/or signal parameters of the harness (106) for a system or to configure various options within the system itself or another system.
