1. A reinforced communication headset system, comprising: a headset including at least one earpiece; a transceiver unit at a remotely located position relative to said headset; and a cable operably coupling the earpiece to the transceiver, the cable including: an earpiece wire means extending between the transceiver unit and the headset; a strength line extending between the transceiver unit and the headset; a transceiver coupler for connection to the transceiver, and having anchoring means for said strength line; and the strength line being secured mechanically to the headset and secured mechanically to the transceiver coupler via said anchoring means, thereby strengthening the cable and causing the cable to resist breaking and resist being severed from the headset or the transceiver coupler. 2. The headset according to claim 1 where the headset includes a microphone, and the cable includes a microphone wire means extending between the transceiver unit and the headset for operably coupling the microphone to the transceiver. 3. The headset system of claim 1 where the anchor means is an anchor pin for anchoring the strength line. 4. The headset system of claim 3 where the strength line loops around the anchor pin and a crimp clamp assists in retaining the strength line on the anchor pin. 5. The headset system of claim 3 where the anchor pin is a mold insert in a strain relief. 6. The headset system of claim 1 where the strength line attaches to the headset with a terminal screw. 7. The headset system of claim 1 where the transceiver unit is configured to be worn on a user's body. 8. The headset system of claim 1 where the strength line is composed of a metal. 9. The headset system of claim 8 where the metal is stainless steel. 10. A cable for use on a headset communication system, the headset communication system having a headset and a transceiver unit with the cable connecting the headset to the transceiver unit, the cable comprising: communication wire means extending between the transceiver unit and headset; a strength line extending between the transceiver unit and the headset; a transceiver coupler for connection to the transceiver, and having anchoring means for said strength line; and the strength line being secured mechanically to the headset and secured mechanically to the transceiver coupler via said anchoring means, thereby strengthening the cable and causing the cable to resist breaking and resist being severed from the headset or the transceiver coupler. 11. The cable of claim 10, wherein the communication wire means includes microphone and earpiece wire means for operably connecting a microphone and an earpiece to the transceiver. 12. The cable of claim 10, wherein the anchor means is an anchor pin for anchoring the strength line. 13. The cable of claim 12, wherein the strength line loops around the anchor pin and a crimp clamp assists in retaining the strength line on the anchor pin. 14. The headset system of claim 10, wherein the strength line is composed of stranded stainless steel. 15. The cable according to claim 10 wherein the microphone and earpiece wire means is four electrical wires, three electrical wires, two electrical wires, or an optical wire.
