@edgewound I tried posting a question at the physics site about the directionality of fuses. They deleted it. 😊
So you think wire conductors in cables are directional? Think again...
Here is a very relevant discussion among physicists about the directionality...the way signal and electrons should flow... based on conductor orientation. Some esoteric, high-end manufacturers say they listen to each conductor to see which way the signal should flow for the best audio quality.
Read this discussion. Will it make you rethink what you’re being told and sold?

A good article from a company I place a lot of credience in (post below)! I do believe in cable directionality and place all my cables / interconnects accordingly. I also believe in Oxygen free copper and directional grain flow effects. I also believe in silver end connectors over gold plated end connectors. Differences are audible and repeatable. I'm happy....... https://www.audioquest.com/theory-education/article/83-directionality-its-all-about-noise |

Cable directionality has to do with where the copper was mined because electrons move differently depending on which hemisphere you’re talking about. A cable made from copper mined in Utah will favor being plugged in the opposite way from a cable made from copper mined in South America to say nothing of copper mined in Asia. It’s the Coriolis Effect all over again. |
