Dia Compe brake cables were produced with a date stamp on the cable housing from 1979 until 1992. Collectors like to match the date stamp of the brake cable, calliper and lever to the year that the BMX was manufactured.

Dia Compe brake cables are still produced to this day, however they are only stamped with "DIA-COMPE" and do not contain a date.
