RE: Ah, but what is the right direction?

The correct direction of cables is unrelated to polarity. Polarity has to do with cables being attached incorrectly (reversed) at the speaker or amp terminals + and -. You know, like "polar opposites." Inverse Polarity can also be caused by something other than cables, for example speaker is wired incorrectly or polarity inversion of some electronics. The correct direction for cables or fuses - if they don't have arrows on them - is determined by listening both ways. To test for system absolute polarity you need a test test with that track on it.
