What do the arrows mean on my cable?


And how do I tell the difference between a digital cable and an RCA cable, they look the same.

Are the ones with the arrows more likely to be RCA for analog connections?

That makes the most sense to me. I would say reducing resettling. This has always amazed me… but fiddling around with cables requires them to “settle down”. One more thing experience teaches and no amount of thinking about it is going to get you there.

Are they in a pair? If so likely analog.

 

I don’t remember seeing arrows on SP/DIF cables. But… That would not be definitive. There are a lot of manufacturers out there.

 

‘’I have had dozens of analog pairs and a few digital cables over the last 50 years.
