I have a Shimano 10 speed chain. Both sides look exactly the same. Non-directional?
I thought all Shimano 10 speed chains had an outside and an inside. Mine (it says CN-5000 or 5600 the engraving is too small for my eyes) is exactly the same on both sides. Can this chain be symmetrical ie. non directional?
google searches are inconclusive. This is an old, new chain I had sitting in a box for 10 years.

Correct, yours is non-directional. Only the Shimano chains with the side plate cut-out on one side are directional.
