How do you tell the positive and negative wire by the texture?

In my experience, one wire will have little ridges or ribs along its' entire length. The other one will be smooth. Not sure which one is supposed to be positive or negative, but you can just assign one wire positive and the other negative. Just don't mix them up and you'll be able to tell which one is which at either end of the pair of wires. Hope this helps.:)
