Shimano and Campy road shifters use the same shift cable diameter but require different end button diameters with Campy being slightly smaller. Installing a Shimano STI cable in a Campy Ergo brifter can cause the end fitting to jam and be very difficult to remove later. Shimano cables are far more common so be careful if you are using Campy Ergos.
