Can I use other IDE cables? is it bi-directional?

Yes, a standard PC IDE cable's connector positions are different than the Xbox as is the length of the cable.  However, with enough effort and cable folding the shorter PC cable can be made to fit.  However, the cable select feature of the cable, if supported, will not work.  The hard drive's jumpers will need to be set for MASTER instead of CABLE SELECT mode.
