From the OO-RSN VISIONS '13 cruise: In summer 2013, the R/V Thompson was getting ready to lay the first of thousands of feet of secondary cable on the seafloor. University of Washington's John Delaney and Deb Kelley, as well as Keith Shepherd and Jason Williams with the Canadian Scientific Submersible Facility give an introduction to the science and technology making this incredible feat a reality.

ROPOS pulled the two pins to release the flange box protecting the wet mate connector at the end of the cable, and then surveyed the cable.

ROPOS removed the cable termination assembly and wet mate connector, and plugged the cable into MJ03E, securing it with a strain-relief line. At the end of the cable installation, ROPOS unlatched from ROCLS, pulled the pins to release the flange box holding the other wet-mate connector, and gave the box a gentle nudge to the seafloor. The box released easily, but near a small collapse zone, so ROPOS moved it away from this area for safety. Inspection showed good slack, but that the cable had been deployed over a few small collapse zones. It is unlikely, however, that the cable will chaff against the edges of the collapse zone with this amount of slack.

ROPOS descended to the seafloor near this site and unlatched the remotely operated cable laying system (ROCLS) from the vehicle's underbelly. ROPOS examined the cable in preparation for removing the section of cable on the front 'horns' of ROCLS, which hold cable splayed in a figure-8 fashion, and the wet-mate connector. Upon inspection of an oil-filled hose that is part of the cable termination, it was found that this section lacked oil. The dive was ended, ROPOS relatched into ROCLS and brought the system to the surface. This section of hose was filled on deck, and the cable was deployed successfully on a follow-on dive.

Small nooks and crannies in the carbonate provide homes to shrimp and hiding places for crabs, squat lobsters and velvety, blue hag fish. ROPOS found a very large transient bubble plume at the seeps - the bubbles could be followed for > 600 ft into the water column and are of interest because of their potential to transfer methane into the atmosphere, should the bubbles reach the surface.

Instead the cable drum was lowered over the starboard side of the ship using one of the ship’s wires and winches. ROPOS was also launched and about 600 feet below the ship it imaged the drum with its forward-looking sonar. Carefully, the ROPOS pilot and navigator drove the vehicle toward the drum until they were close enough to image the drum directly with the ROV's high-definition camera. ROPOS and the drum then descended to the seafloor, 5,000 feet below the ocean's surface. The cable drum was gently placed on the seafloor with the winch as ROPOS ensured there was a safe landing zone. ROPOS then attached cable to the junction box, and began laying cable on the seafloor.

Dive 1603 marked the first installation of an extension cable onto the seafloor at the summit of Axial Volcano. The 2083 feet of cable was installed from near Primary Node 3B to a southern site known as Eastern Caldera. This cable will be connected to a junction box that will provide power and communication to seismometers that will detect earthquakes in real-time and a bottom pressure-tilt instrument that will measure the inflation and deflation of the volcano's floor. ROPOS surveyed the cable route, transiting over lobate flows, bulbous pillow flows, and a few skylights. The cable was then installed and ROPOS set the cable laying system ROCLS (Remotely Operated Cable Laying System) onto the seafloor near marker W. ROPOS then removed the flange box from ROCLS so that the wet-mate connector would be available for follow-on connection to the J-Box later in the cruise. A few rat tail fish were observed along the way.

The node is connected to the Pacific City (Oregon) Shore by 320 miles of fiber optic telecommunication cable, providing power and communication from shore. This primary infrastructure was installed by L-3 MariPro using the TE Sucom cable laying ship in 2011-2012. During testing of the Primary Infrastructure a ground fault was found in PN3B, likely associated with a camera that had been deployed on it to visually image the seafloor as the node was deployed.
