Chain width?

My local shop sold me a 3rd party chain because they had no Campag in
stock. On the box it says it works with Shimano 10 speed AND Campag 10
speed.

Its from Spectra. I have no way of measuring the width at home, but how
can this work giving the differences?

Thanks so much.

Campagnolo's literature only covered the original 6.1mm
chain, the later 6.0mm and the final 5.9mm widths.

I'll watch for that upcoming 4.12mm model Ten chain that you
report is much smaller than Campagnolo's Eleven chain, old
and fat at 5.5mm wide!

Sorry I meant Sprocket not chain...

Campagnolo 8-speed cassette sprockets are spaced at 5.0mm, 9-speed at
4.55mm, and 10-speed at 4.12mm.

Shimano 7-speed cassettes are spaced at 5mm, 8-speed at 4.8mm, 9-speed at
4.34mm and 10-speed 3.95mm.
