I’m looking to upgrade my BlueRov tether as I’m looking to add a few more sensors. I definitely think for my particular application fiber optic would be unnecessary. Can anyone here share their experience with upgrading the tether to be able to push more data up to the surface? Are there any products comparable to the tether sold by blue robotics that just allow for more data transfer (neutral buoyancy, load bearing, etc)?
