I can tell by running my thumb nail down the wire. You'd be able to do the same if you had some experience.

OTOH- you can simply read the label, or specs. However, "die-drawn" might not be stated that way, it might say something like "ultra smooth surface" or whatever.

Unless they changed names or specs. the Jagwire "hyper" series cables have the features I look for, without those I don't.
