Conductor pairs 1 & 2, 4 & 6 and 7 & 8 are twisted.
Pins 3 and 5 use 2 conductors each for maximizing power transmission and tether flexibility.
Tether Buoyancy
Performance and Neutral tether includes buoyancy compensating foam that provides near neutral
buoyancy in fresh water. Negative tether contains no foam and will sink. The connectors do not contain
any buoyancy compensation and will sink slightly.
Tether Strength
All tether types include Kevlar that is rated at 450 kg (1,000 pounds), the connectors are rated 80 kg
(175 pounds).
These values are breaking strength. The tether should not be subjected to a working
strength greater than one half of the breaking strength. The ROV and tether are equipped with a strain
relief cable and connectors, which are rated at 136 kilograms (300 pounds). The strain relief cable
should be used to avoid separation of the tether connectors and loss of the ROV.
The maximum usable tether length is limited by the ability of the tether to transmit power and data
signals. The maximum usable tether length of MSS systems is about 550 meters (1,800 feet). MSS
systems can fiber tether to extend the range. See the
Guide for more information.
