  • @700gsteak oh ok. Red Coloured Cable section shown in the video is like couple of 100 meters. Pick and connect one end. Perform continuity checks. then move to second end for connecting. Sort of like a jumper connection

  • @munnaaa123 Thanks but I'm not asking how they grab onto the cable.

  • @700gsteak Remote Operated Vehicles with robotic hands

  • how is ther enough cable to pull it up to the surface? Do you leave loops every x metres?
