3580Series of electronic racks with Virgo devices used to control suspensions of minitowers, to acquire the signals from photodiodes and cameras of suspended optical benches, to supply the power to these sensors, to acquire some environmental probe siignals, etc... The digital data acquired in the whole Virgo experiment are routed inside the data network using multiplexers/demultiplerxers located in this room.

3150Three racks hosting the electronics to control the superattenuator where a bench used to acquire the interference pattern is suspended and the electronics to control the optical elements installed on this bench.
On the background, vacuum enclosure of superattenuators are visible.

2800Optical fibers are used to acquire and transmit the digital data from sub-systems to sub-systems over the whole Virgo interferometer. Patch panels are used to ease the optical fiber installation.
Electronics racks are visible in reflection on the door.
