Founded in 1951, the Italian Institute for Nuclear Physics is the public research institute that has taken up the scientific legacy of Enrico Fermi and the “Via Panisperna boys” and continued their studies. For more than seventy years, it has conducted cutting-edge research. As a result, it is now internationally recognised as one of the most prestigious scientific institutions in the field of nuclear, particle, and astroparticle physics, as well as in developing technologies for research and their applications to benefit society. All this is possible thanks to the commitment and training of its community, more than six thousand people who work in the scientific, technological, technical, and administrative areas.

Description
INFN LNS controls the largest scinetific deep-sea cabled infrastructure in the Mediterrean Sea. Data and power connections from/to shore are routed through a network of subsea cables. Junction Boxes are the front-end towards science observatories and science users. The LNS ITINERIS JB is equipped with 14 electro-optical ports, namely hybrid ROV operable wet-mate connectors and dry-mate ports for auxiluary gauges. Each port provides 2 fibers for bi-directional connection and 363VDC/ 1A power supply, to allow power supply and control/acquisition from/to onshore.
