I haven't found an obvious answer to this. Do Shimano inner brake cables run find with Jagwire outers? It looks like the Jagwire inners are 1.5mm diameter and the Shimano ones 1.6mm.
I've got a load of Shimano inners in the spares box but have just put on some Jagwire outers. If there not compatible I'll probably just go back to Shimano outers too, as I've got those laying around, unless the Jagwire are significantly better
bump and awaits response with interest - have jagwire outers and pretty sure the cables i put in at the weekend were shimano packaged ones (posh!) fed thru just fine actually really easy but bike still in stand
Look at 1mm on a ruler. Consider the difference is 1/10th of that. You're over thinking this, it'll be fine.
Have done this before. I think it was with brakes. And found it a little sticky.
Not sure what coating was on the shimano Inners though

It's a 7% difference, so in relative terms bigger than the difference between boost and non-boost at the rear.

hang on we are talking precise bicycle braking here not Apollo moon mission stuff
.
Never had an issue
It's fine. If you have the compressionless Jagwire outers, definitely don't change them for Shimano.
I’d take Shimano Dura-Ace (PTFE/Sil-tec) cables and outlets over Jagwire any day of the week.
Every jagwire I have had has failed in a crap way. Buy shimano. They are good.
I have jagwire outers with shimano inners on two bikes and wasn't even aware of this till now
Edit oops that was with gears. Cable brakes are for luddites

Or just people that can't be bothered learning to figure out hydraulic brakes and internal routing
