Yter cables direction

I would be grateful if anyone can advise me about direction for conecting Yter cables on speakers. There are no obvius marks or written letters from manufacturer, neither on cables, neither on papers that came with them.
Thank you in advance

>>>>>Exhibit A of not knowing what the word directionality means. To think some people accuse me of shooting fish in a barrel....🐟 🐟 🐟 “Not to start a flame war...” Funny! 😀
geoffkait, I'm pretty sure that I know what "directionality" means, besides that it has no meaning when it comes to audio cables.  FYI I spent 20 years designing  metallurgical processes, quality assurance examinations and stress test programs for metal parts.  Including cables.  But what do I know?

Have you taken a college-level (or high school) physics class?

“But what do I know?”

It doesn’t matter what you know. The thing you don’t know is that wire is directional, the subject of this thread.

I see.  If it's the subject of a thread on Audiogon then it must be true?

No problem.  Please provide us with your proof or other evidence that wire is directional.  Something that was NOT written by a cable manufacturer, if you don't mind.

This is a long going controversy. If not too much trouble, can I suggest you search the archives. I’m sure you will find plenty to threads that address wire directionality to be able to catch up on the subject.

Wire IS directional. Current can go one way. Or current can go the other way if you turn the cable is reversed.

Anyone seen a house or major transmission line electrician check for directionality in AC cables? I also have not seen DC transmission cable checked for directionality in solar panels to inverters, is a good example, or caravans which use DC power for fridges, televisions, stereos or microwaves. The only reason cables are directional is that they may have different plugs on the ends.

More HiFi voodoo stuff.
