ABSTRACT:
An example of the cable barrier system includes a cable-release anchor assembly; a length of need section having a plurality of line post spaced from each other, each of the line posts having an internal cavity and a slot formed along a sidewall extending downward from a top end of the post; a cable having a terminal end that is releasably held in tension by the cable-release anchor assembly; and the cable releasably connected to each line post by a post-cable connector, the post-cable connector having an elongated portion forming a loop, the elongated portion disposed substantially within the cavity and the loop extending through the slot exterior of the cavity, the cable slidingly disposed in the loop, wherein when an object impacts and deforms one of the posts toward ground level the cable is released from the deformed post in a manner such that the cable tends to stay in contact with the impacting object.
