A cable barrier system including a cable-release anchor assembly, a terminalend section having at least one terminal post, the terminal post disposed adjacentto and spaced from the cable-release anchor assembly, and a length of need sectionhaving a plurality of line posts spaced from each other, each line post havingan internal cavity and a slot formed along a sidewall extending downward fromits top end. At least one cable having a terminal end is connected intention betweenthe cable-release anchor assembly and the posts, the cable connected to the cable-releaseanchor proximate its terminal end. The cable is releasably connected to the terminalpost and the line posts. The cable is releasably connected to the line posts bypost-cable connectors. The post-cable connector includes an elongated sectionforming loops, the elongated portion is disposed substantially within the cavityand the loops extend through the slot to the exterior of the cavity. The cable isslidably disposed in the loop. Wherein when an object impacts and deforms oneof the posts toward ground level the cable is released from the deformed post ina manner such that the cable tends to stay in contact with the object.
