Picked up a set of campagnolo ultrashift/powershift cableset, bit confused which ones are which

2 x each one roughly 2' long, ends have visible wire ends (outer wires run length ways)
1 x each one roughly 2' long, end have visible wire ends (outer wires run length ways)
1 x loop of cable (outer wires rung in a spiral) about 2.5' long
1 x loop of cable (outer wires rung in a spiral) about 1.5' long
Say... That's a nice bike..

    The wider outer is brake, the thicker inner is brake. Thee shorter inners are for front brake and front mech. The long wider brake outer is for frames that dont have braised on cable stops on the top tube. Make sure you use proper bike cable cutters otherwise it will fray.

    Just to help, brake outers have the metal sheath as a coil.

    Gear outers have the metal sheath as lots of individual wires running parallel to the cable (this is to stop the outer flexing when you change gears - which would through the indexing out).

    What's this end cap? You only get one. Actually I need to put end caps into Shimano deep drop brakes, Campag outers are a bit too wide, so is this for Shimano? If so I'd need another.

    I think it's for the cable stop on the chainstay. Narrow end in first, remaining fat end pointing towards the bottom bracket.

    Its an option for the stop on the rear of the chainstay if your stop fits it. At least thats what I think it is for.

    Yep, that's it. For the rear mech.

    EDIT: fat end towards the dropout.
