Claim 12:
13. A cable rail assembly for supporting a plurality of cable rails, the assembly comprising:
a plurality of post sleeves, each post sleeve having a plurality of holes located along a length of the post sleeve;
a plurality of support posts that share a common configuration, each support post having:
a first plurality of cable receivers spaced along a first length of the support post;
a second plurality of cable receivers spaced along a second length of the support post and oriented perpendicular to the first plurality of cable receivers;
a third plurality of cable receivers spaced along a third length of the support post, located in opposition to and in alignment with the first plurality of cable receivers; and
a cable rail configured for tensioning between first and second support posts, the cable rail comprising:
a cable;
a first cable rail fitting for coupling the cable to one of the support posts, having a first end for receiving the cable and a second end for coupling to a cable receiver of the support post, wherein rotation of the second end of the first cable rail fitting tensions the cable to the first and second support posts,

wherein each support post is sized to fit within a respective one of the post sleeves to form a cable rail support;
wherein each cable receiver of each support post is sized to receive the first cable rail fitting of the cable rail,
wherein each cable receiver of each support post is sized to receive the cable of the cable rail therethrough;
wherein each of the plurality of holes of each post sleeve is located to align with a respective one of the cable receivers of one of the support posts to enable the cable of the cable rail to be passed through respective ones of the first plurality and third plurality of cable receivers and corresponding aligned holes of the post sleeve;
wherein a first end portion of the cable is configured to couple, via the first cable rail fitting, to a cable receiver of one of the support posts, the second end of the first cable rail fitting extending through a respective one of the holes of the post sleeve and engaging with the cable receiver; and
wherein each support post may be used as an end post, an intermediate post or a corner post.
