Abstract
An isolated power supply system for an undersea communication cable includes one or more power converters each including input circuitry responsive to an input current from a communication cable power conductor and in series with the communication cable power conductor of the undersea communication cable. One or more outputs are electrically isolated from the communication cable power conductor. A controller is coupled to each of the one or more power converters. The controller is configured to control the operation of the one or more power converters to provide the one or more outputs coupled to an external load located on a branch off of the undersea communication cable.
