The only real value of the "direction of the writing" is to have a consistent directional reference if you happen to swap cables frequently. IOW, it's just a manner of orienting the cables in the same way( direction) consistently.

  Thx. I'm glad someone understood. I was only trying to say the direction of anything written on the cable simply gives one a visual reference point for.... reversing the cable to audition in the opposite direction or maintaining its current direction.

Consistent? Yes, consistently wrong.

  Well if we are so wrong, why don't you tell him how to be 100% right.

    There are four possible combinations for connecting two identical unmarked cables. But only one is the correct combination. Listening should reveal the correct combination.
