How would you count the cable toward the South, West, or Function end?

• A. Clockwise
• B. Counterclockwise
• C. Alternating
• D. Diagonal

Answer: (B)

Counting toward the South, West, or Function end is done in a counterclockwise direction. This fixed rotational sense provides a predictable, repeatable order so each cable has a consistent position as you move toward that end, which helps prevent mislabeling or mix-ups when documenting or tracing cables. A clockwise count would reverse the sequence and lead to confusion, alternating would mix directions and break the standard, and diagonal isn’t related to this circular counting method.
