Tether Strain Relief

The Defender strain relief is used to secure the ROV to the tether to prevent separation and loss of the vehicle if the tether connection becomes separated. The strain relief also minimized the load on the tether connector.

There are two different strain relief systems. One is for use between the ROV and tether and the second is for use when connecting two tethers together. There is not a strain relief system for the topside connection.

Instructions for using these strain relief systems is found on the following pages.
