What do the arrows mean on my cable?


And how do I tell the difference between a digital cable and an RCA cable, they look the same.

Are the ones with the arrows more likely to be RCA for analog connections?

@esarhaddon : show me a physics textbook where wire directionality is mentioned and discussed. If such a property exists surely it would have been measured and quantified over the past two hundred years!

What's the fuss? If the cable has arrows, is it very hard to hook it up following those arrows? hardship much? Or put it opposite of the arrows if that's what your heart desires.

I assumed that it was common knowledge that the arrow always points away from the source, and ultimately toward the amplifier. I have no idea if it makes a difference, but I just do it that way anyway in case it does.
