ABSTRACT:
There is provided a connecting system including a connecting apparatus that includes (i) a signal transfer path that transfers one of an electrical signal and an optical signal and (ii) a connecting device that connects the signal transfer path to a connection target component in such a manner that a signal is capable of being transferred therebetween, and a connected apparatus that includes the connection target component to be connected to the signal transfer path. Here, the connecting device includes a moving portion that has therein a sealed space. The moving portion moves an end portion of the signal transfer path closer to the connection target component so that the end portion of the signal transfer path is connected to the connection target component in response to an increase in a pressure within the moving portion, and moves the end portion away from the connection target component in response to a decrease in the pressure within the moving portion.
