[Problem] To provide an optical cable connecting closure and optical interconnection system (101) which can easily respond to changes in required connection functions if any. [Solving Means) An optical cable connecting closure (118) has a case (121), while a plurality of connecting modules (123) are arranged (stored) so as to be erected with respect to the bottom face of a closure main body 119 along the width direction in a module storing section ( 122) of the case (121). The connecting module (123) has a rectangular parallelepiped board-like module main body (127), while a plurality of MT connectors (128), (129) are attached in a vertical row to one end face of the module main body (127). In the module main body (127), an optical connecting section (130) for connecting the MT connectors (128), (129) to each other is arranged. The module storing section (122) can store a different kind of connecting module (123) having a connecting configuration (function) different from that of the connecting module (123). [FIG. 5)
