There is absolutely a reason why the arrows are there; the conductor was drawn through the die in that direction. I was just talking with Ted Denney, president of Synergistic about this yesterday. If you had a way to visually map the patterns of electron flow (cable deigners are typically equipped to do this) the answer should become obvious. Naysay all you want to: I'll bet some of you would even argue with the manufacturers.
If you want to use the cables then have them reterminated to fit your equipment, or maybe even do it yourself if you have access to a quality compression crimper.
