On stores like Digikey , Newark and others you get a datasheet for the cable where it tells you how many strands of wires are used, and what's the gauge of each strand.
See for example https://www.digikey.com/en/products/filter/single-conductor-cables-hook-up-wire/474 you see there a column with number of strands and thickness of each strand
edit : you seem to be in Germany so TME.eu may work better : https://www.tme.eu/en/katalog/wires-and-cables_112533/
You can see all the parameters at the Stranded cables section : https://www.tme.eu/en/katalog/single-core-cable-strand_100147/
