Connectorize the Fathom Tether

Hello, subsea enthusiast! :ocean:

We’ve got a new guide hot off the Arbor Press: Connectorize the Fathom Tether with a Cobalt Connector!

We frequently receive inquiries about a quick-disconnect tether since an attached system can be cumbersome to transport. Blue Robotics is developing an epoxy-free connector solution that should be launched in the near future. Meanwhile, we want to provide those interested with a path forward!

Please review the guide, and don’t hesitate to reach out to our support team through the contact page if you have any questions!

Hi, I had a follow up question for this. Can we use a similar guide for the fathom slim tether using a 3 pin cobalt connector, or is the tether sheath too slim for the connector?

Hi Andrew!

We’ve yet to try this, but using the 3-pin Cobalt Series Cable Termination Kit in the regular size instead of the large size we used for the Fathom Tether should work well with the Slim Tether.

Perfect, thank you!
