An electronic cable of the type having a plurality of electrical leads extending between an electronic signal interface connector assembly at each end thereof is provided wherein each electronic signal connector assembly comprises an electronic signal connector having a plurality of signal contacts within a grounding sleeve, each electrical lead being connected to a signal contact. A backshell supports the electronic signal connector extending therefrom. A lens extends about the periphery of the backshell and is affixed thereto. A light emitting diode within the backshell is electrically connected between a power lead and a ground lead and is further oriented to emit light at the lens when energized.
