Cable supply, transit and project management specialists Cable Solutions Worldwide have supplied a unique tether for micro ROVs to a major ROV manufacturer. The delivery involved considerable research of past design and field developments.
The tether cable that connects the ROV with the controller significantly affects the underwater performance of the ROV, and it's vital that the cable ensures a stable signal transmission during subsea operation. Strength is always a major factor, yet flexibility was the main feature in our design. It was also important that the tether cable was neutrally buoyant, reducing drag on the micro ROV, helping the vehicle run smooth with less water resistance and loading. The tether cable needed to be unique in many ways, and we relied on our design, manufacturing and materials experience to provide a flexible, yet mechanically robust product.
