Abstract
A system for signaling between elements in an undersea optical communication system including a cable signal generator. The signal generator includes line current modulation circuitry configured to impart modulation in line current provided on a power conductor of the transmission cable. A method of signaling between elements in an undersea optical communication system includes modulating a line current through an element and detecting the modulated current.
