Abstract
It is made possible to consume current without adversely affecting the others. A cable is connected between a first device and a second device. A power line that supplies a current from the first device to the second device, and a current consumption unit that receives supply of a current from the first device through the power line, are included. A detection unit that detects that the second device is in the operating state, and a control unit that cancels a stop state of current consumption of the current consumption unit in response to the detection information, are further included.
