Thimble use with Fathom Tether and Fathom Slim Tether

Introduction

This tutorial will show you how to install Tether Cable Thimble onto the Fathom Tether and Fathom Slim Tether, providing a high-strength way to attach the tether to your ROV frame.

Installation

1. Grab the tether somewhere between about 16 to 24 inches away from the bulkhead penetrator and loop it around the plastic thimble. If using Fathom Slim Tether, wrap it around the thimble twice.

2. Secure the tether around the thimble using three of the heavy-gauge zip ties included with the thimble. Start at the base of the thimble and alternate the direction of the zip ties as there are added. Keep the tether tightly wrapped around the thimble as you do so.

3. Firmly attach the thimble to your vehicle frame using the remaining two heavy-gauge zip ties.
