Purchased to replace crusty front and rear derailleur operating cables as part of work to freshen up an old 90's 21 gear mountain bike - this did the job for me.
Two cable inners plus two cable ends. Looks like it has enough cable outer (210cm) and associated ferroules (8 cable casing ends ) to do pretty much any standard bike. The cable casing (4mm - looked a bit smaller than the original but but fitted fine) is prelubed on the inside with low friction coatings, so not supposed require additional greasing. The cable inner is stainless steel so the exposed lengths shouldn't rust (unlike my admittedly very old originals).
Cable inners are about 180cm and 210cm.
make sure your wire cutters are decent quality and up to the job, you'll also need a cable crimper (often come as part of a wire cutter) spanners/hex/torx of the right sizes for your bike fittings.
There are no instructions, but this job should be easy enough to do, there are plenty of good videos online for guidance, but essentially, you'll need to remove the existing casings and use as a template for cutting the replacement lengths from the new casing.
Less than 20 mins work if you know what you're doing, have a good work area and the right tools. For crusty fittings, it's worth a few sprays of WD40 or similar the night before to avoid painful removal struggles.
