The invention discloses optical cable peeling equipment and an operating method thereof. According to the invention, an optical cable to be peeled is measured through a measuring mechanism, then a feed cutting mechanism cuts according to a measurement result, cutting is controlled by a horizontal moving mechanism and a rotating mechanism, and finally an outer rubber layer of the optical cable to be peeled is loosened through switching a cutting tool into a stirring bar, so that the outer rubber layer of the optical cable to be peeled can be loosened while the optical cable to be peeled is cut efficiently, and the peeling difficulty of the optical cable can be substantially reduced. The optical cable peeling equipment comprises a measuring mechanism, a horizontal moving mechanism, a feed cutting mechanism, a rotating mechanism and an optical cable drawing mechanism which are arranged on a rack, wherein the measuring mechanism, the feed cutting mechanism and the optical cable drawing mechanism are sequentially arranged in the horizontal direction; and the feed cutting mechanism comprises at least two cutting heads, a cutting head pushing component and a cutting head base, the at least two cutting heads are uniformly arranged in the cutting head base through the cutting head pushing component, and the cutting heads can move in the radial direction of the optical cable to be peeled through the cutting head pushing component.
