Is this cable bi-directional?

I'm not completely sure what you mean, but I'll try to answer it a couple of different ways. If you mean does data go both directions so that it functions as an input and output cable then the answer is no. The cable connects to the mini display port on a mac computer and sends audio and video signals to a hdmi compatible television. This is really the only purpose that the cable can be used for since the mini display port is specific to mac computers.

Yes it is. You can actually run it from a computer using HDMI to a mini display port monitor.

It is not directional; however the wire is marked for polarity (Indicating positive and negative connections between the receiver and speakers). Please note that the mark is a little hard to see as it is just a silver or grey stripe/strand running through the clear insulated cable jacket. Check out the alternate pictures in the item description - you can see it there. Hope this helps!

No, it is a proprietary cable. I have not seen this type of cable on any other piece of electronic equipment I own.

I don't believe this particular cable is mini HDMI. The one I bought is not mini or I would test it out for you. The cable does not appear to be directional, so I don't believe that it would be a problem if you have the mini HDMI version or an HDMI to mini HDMI adaptor.

No, this probably isn't what you're looking for. Only one side of the cable can transfer data, and the other is for power only.

No, it is NOT directional. You can put it on any way and it will look the same.

I tried both ways. Neither worked. I ended up buying the HD-Link by Sewell which is a one cable newer design. It works great unlike this Sabrent crap

That I don't know. I have it hooked up to my MacBook Air so that I can view the computer on my TV. That is only a "one way" set up. I would presume that the cable is capable of either direction, but I would not want to swear on it. Perhaps, if you know someone who has one you could borrow it, and if it works then you can feel safe in purchasing it. Good luck.

Hi, the CX400 cable is symmetrical, y-shaped. I hate asymmetrical cables too. Please note that I do not recommend the CX400. I am totally disappointed with it.

So in my experience as an IT student I have never encountered a uni-directional cable. People that don't buy sub cables can just use A/V cables (just provides lower quality sound). Really it should not matter which way the cable goes. If there is a hum try switching it. All its doing is completing a circuit, and from what I can tell there is no sort of switch in the wire, so again, the direction really shouldn't matter.

Yes the cable is on the left side. No you cannot switch the side the cable is on.

This is for optical to coax. You need the opposite, coax to optical. There should be a similar product available on here that works in the opposite direction.

This is a single either for Positive or negative connection. You need two cables.

No - This is a mono connection, which splits in to two mono connections. you can tell by the little black line on the male end of the cable in the picture. If it were a stereo cable, there would be two lines there instead of one. For a stereo version of this cable, take a look at http://www.amazon.com/Hosa-YPP117-inch-Dual-Cable/dp/B000068O54

I would have to say no. It is pretty directional, maybe 20 degree spread depending on strength of signal. Works good!

Dear Tim, As we had discussed over the email that you had sent us, the USB extension cable is an active cable which amplifies the signal to allow connections over longer lengths. In general active cables work in a single direction. You may want to consider purchasing a passive USB cable for bidirectional support. Please contact us at service@bluerigger.com if you have any additional questions. Thank you, BlueRigger LLC service@bluerigger.com

Assume this will work as long as you follow the directions on which way to connect the directional cable. If you get it backwards it will not work.
