The invention discloses a size of high-strength alkali-free glass fibre direct yarn used for a reinforced core of an optical cable, comprising coupling agent, lubricant, film forming agent A, film forming agent B, film forming agent C and a pH value regulator; the solid weight of all the materials accounts for 5 to 10 percent, the rest of materials is water, and the content of the water accounts for 90 to 95 percent of the total weight of the size; the coupling agent adopts silane coupling agent and accounts for 3 to 10 percent of the solid weight of the size; the lubricant adopts unsaturated olein lubricant and accounts for 1 to 10 percent of the solid weight of the size; the film forming agent A, the film forming agent B and the film forming agent C respectively adopts one of epoxy emulsion, polyester emulsion and polyvinyl acetate emulsion, wherein, the film forming agent C selects compound with low degree of polymerization, the combination of the film forming agent A and the film forming agent B accounts for 80 to 85 percent of the solid weight of the size, the film forming agent C accounts for 1 to 5 percent of the solid weight of the size, the pH value regulator adopts acid and accounts for 1 to 5 percent of the solid weight of the size and the pH value of the size is 2 to 8. The size has good compatibility with vinyl resin and epoxy resin and can lead the strength of the glass fibre reinforced plastic of the product to be improved.
