Directionality


Can someone explain to me, in engineering terms, how, if an interconnect is truly directional, it doesn't screw up half of the waveform?

I am not a very technical person, but it seems that the signal would be going in a "circle" to complete the circuit, one way through the (+) lead and the other way through the (-) lead. If this is correct then the cable is "directional", perhaps due to the grounding scheme (@ one end only) and/or if one pays attention to which direction the wire is "drawn" during the manufacturing process, then this pattern (or draw direction) would preferably be reversed on the (+ & -) leads in order that the signal "goes with the flow".
