RE: Questions?

To be directional the cables impedance/resistance would have to be greater in one direction than the other.
Or if you think in terms of vibrating electrons imagine a cable running from left to right.
The electrons would be freely moving to say the right but would have to be restricted in their movement to the left or vice versa.

An extreme case would be a diode: Near zero impedance in one direction, near infinite impedance in the other. If you feed an AC signal through it the result is nothing like the original waveform since half of it would be completely missing. A truly directional cable would have to have a similar although lesser effect resulting in gross distortion.
