DEVELOPMENT OF AN OPTICAL FIBRE TETHER CABLE FOR DEEP SEA R.O.V

The ROV's (remotely operated vehicles) for sea-bottom survey and underwater work are increasingly required to operate in deeper waters and have multiple functions. The development of a tether cable for deep sea ROV's which is capable of signal and power transmission, has excellent mechanical strength, is lightweight and small-sized, is described. Practical application of the tether cable and connectors for deep sea ROVs down to a depth of 10,000m possible.
