directional arrows on interconnects

Now, isn't that clear?

thanks for the info..

Not sure I could follow all this but, if in doubt, always have the arrows facing up.

On some shielded designs you will see directional arrows which corresponds to fact that the shield is connected only at one end. In this way, the sheild is not responsible for carrying the return signal, hence it functions as a true shield. The directional arrows would therefore denote which side the shield is grounded at (usually at the source end).

Frankly, other than in the above case, I've never heard a single plausible explanation for why directionality matters in non-shielded designs.

Oxia, obviously you have never listened to the difference directionality makes in signal wires. Plausible explanation? Haven't got one other than the work of Duncan on micro diodes in material caused by dragging it through the die one way.....This would not explain why continuous cast material is still directional now would it? Just use your ears and don't worry about the reasons for directionality to be an issue.....Hint, the direction that allows the tallest stage height is the correct directionality.....Oh, hate those arrows as it is dark behind gear and tiny arrows are hard to see so like to use a green "Load" band on wires I make....
