I have QED cable & if it's the same look at the center of the cable, one should be coloured red & the other black, if it is you should be sorted.

Hope this answers your question.

It doesn't matter as long as you keep them consistent as the speaker / amp terminals. Some cables have identification but that's just to help you make sure you don't get them mixed up.

Hi,

Depending on which QED cable you've bought there'll either be a) a ridge along the side on one conductor (it can be difficult to see but easy to feel with a finger) or b) writing or other markings (+ signs every 10cm are common) printed on one conductor only or c) X Tube type cables with a hollow core have red and white plastic tubes running through the middle.

As someone else said, it doesn't matter which one you use for red or black, as long as they match up at both ends. The convention is to use red on the conductor with the ridge, writing / markings or red core.
