Provided is an electric transmission cable module that has both a squelch function and an AGC function, and realizes a highly accurate function while suppressing an increase in chip cost. Disclosed is an electric transmission cable module including a first amplifier that compensates for a cable loss of a conductive cable, a second amplifier having a variable gain function, a third amplifier allowed to transit between a normal state for amplifying a signal and an idle state having smaller power consumption than power consumption in the normal state, a detector that detects a signal level on a signal transmission line between the first amplifier and the third amplifier, an analog-to-digital conversion circuit that converts the signal level into a digital signal, a first control circuit that generates a gain adjustment signal for controlling a gain of the second amplifier based on the digital signal, and a second control circuit that controls transition between the normal state and the idle state of the third amplifier based on the digital signal.
