“What else do I need for this to be a 'bidirectional sampler' as described? I need to plug into a thunderbolt 2 port on my computer, so I need a thunderbolt 2 male end and usb-c female end. So I must need something else for this to work bidirectionally?”

No, it's automatic. Just have cables that plug in correctly in the path you choose and it should work.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you really need a tb2 male connector you need a whole different adapter, not sure Apple makes that one.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You would need a TB3 device; plug this adapter into that, and a TB2 cable (which would plug into the other end of this adapter on one end and your computer on the other).
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The port/cable ends on the adapter are exactly the opposite. On the Thunderbolt 2 end (which is female), a Thunderbolt 2 male to Thunderbolt 2 male cable would work. Then on the other (USB-C female port) end, you could use a USB-C barrel (USB-C female on both ends of the adapter). May be referred to as a USB-C gender changer.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This plug has a female Thunderbolt 1-2 and a male Thunderbolt 3. I was able to use my existing Thunderbolt 1-2 cable from older Mac to connect my Thunderbolt 3 device without any additional devices. My purpose was for an external RAID direct attached storage. I haven’t had any issues for bidirectional usage of data transfer.
