I bought a set of six 10-foot braided cords for both the iPhone and for the Android phone (lightning & usb-c) and they work great except when they're coiled up among stuff.
Then I'm always pulling on the cord to find out which is the end that is USB-A and which is the lightning or USB-C end.
Do they make 10-foot cords with little arrows braided into the jacket?

Use a marker or electrical tape or something to colour code the ends of
the cables.

I don't think the ends are the problem. As I read it, one is posed with
the problem of having the middle of the cable at hand and neither end
in sight. So which way to go on the cable to find the end you need? Therefore the labels need to be all along the length of the cable.

I guess I misunderstood the issue.

Android phone (lightning & usb-c) and they work great except when
they're
coiled up among stuff.
Then I'm always pulling on the cord to find out which is the end
that is
USB-A and which is the lightning or USB-C end.

My apologies.
It's easier to see why I had for help in determining the direction of a USB cable from the middle with a quick snapshot of my workspace at the moment.

Oh. Well, then I suggest you disassemble that mess and re-do with some attempt at organization.

Oh, it happens even where there is only one cable involved, as you
inevitably grab the ten footers by the middle and have to find the ends.
It doesn't help that there are a mix of different cables in that mix, so
even when I do find the small end, it's often for Android when I want to
plug in an iPhone and vice versa (or even micro-USB or mini-USB on some).
Luckily the industry is standardizing on one cable end for the time being.
