Abstract

In a power control monitoring system for monitoring a power feed for a cable communications system including n cable landing stations where n is an integer, a network connects m cable landing stations among the n cable landing stations to each other by communications lines other than power feed cables connecting the n cable landing stations where m is an integer equal to or smaller than n. A sender/receiver, which is provided in each of the m cable landing stations, transfers information concerning the power feed with respect to the m cable landing stations to each other. A control and output unit, which is provided in each of the m cable landing stations, gathers the information concerning the power feed with respect to the m cable landing stations and outputs the information so that the information is simultaneously output in the m cable landing stations.
