Hi,  
you can use an expandable Braided Cable Sleeve ( see below ) around your tether ( avoid tape or cable tie that can get your tether snag).

At the ROV end you can form a loop that can be attached to a solid point on the ROV thus avoid stresses on the cable thimble.

I described the process in a short [tutorial here](https://discuss.bluerobotics.com/t/tether-mount-tutorial/9742)

Of course, you can reduce the length of the superimposed section, and increase the other part at your convenience !

You can also use a thicker sheath by using coreless ropes like this one :
