I really wish hdmi was symmetrical. (Peer behind tv, “which way goes up?” Tries to plug it in, “fml it was the other way” flips it drops it)
I wish too, mainly because HDMI cables are much less flexible and twisting them 180° can create tension.
Unfortunately HDMI already uses pins on both sides of the connector, so you would have to shrink them to half their size first, then double them.
That is unfortunate. Too bad there is no standard as to which side is the top.
