Tether – Your ROV’s Lifeline
This presentation explores VideoRay’s various tether options and provides recommendations for when to use each type of tether and maximum workable lengths. Also discussed are various rigging methods and techniques for deep dives or working in strong currents. VideoRay’s Defender includes the option to use onboard batteries, which enhances the tether options by eliminating the need for power conductors and makes the tether thinner. This hybrid power solution is a first in the industry and the possible configurations will be explained, including the pros and cons of each configuration.
