The Fathom ROV Tether (ROV-Ready) (Twisted Pairs - 1) (50 M 164 ft) is a professional-grade, neutrally buoyant tether designed for robust subsea applications, particularly for Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs). This tether combines exceptional strength and durability with superior electrical performance, making it suitable for a wide range of underwater tasks. It features a pre-installed Binder 77 connector and WetLink Penetrator, facilitating seamless integration with various ROV systems and watertight enclosures.

Engineered with a slim profile, the tether minimizes drag, enhancing its suitability for deep, high-current, and long-distance dives. Its compact size also ensures portability and ease of handling, with a hundred-meter length weighing just 3 lb (1.4 kg). The tethers construction includes Kevlar strands for strength and Dacron fibers for space filling, both impregnated with a water-blocking compound to prevent leaks. The high-visibility yellow polyurethane foam jacket offers abrasion resistance and neutral buoyancy, while the cables stiffness strikes a balance between flexibility and tangle resistance.

The tether incorporates one unshielded twisted pair (UTP) of 26AWG wire, arranged similarly to a Cat5 networking cable, providing reliable primary communication for the BlueROV2. However, it lacks spare twisted pairs, limiting its compatibility with applications requiring additional tether pairs. The design of this tether ensures it meets the demands of various underwater operations, offering both flexibility and reliability.
