Claim:
A method for providing a cable barrier, comprising: providing a C-section post comprising: opposing side walls defining a depth; a face wall and an opposing back wall defining a width; a cavity defined by the opposing side walls, face wall, and the back wall; and a slot formed through the face wall extending downward from a top end of the C-section post; and releasably connecting a first cable and a second cable to the C-section post via a post-cable connector comprising an elongated section forming a first loop and a second loop, the elongated section disposed substantially within the cavity and the first and second loops extending through the slot exterior of the cavity, the first cable slidingly disposed in the first loop and the second cable slidingly disposed in the second loop, wherein when an object impacts and deforms the C-section post toward ground level the cables are released from the deformed C-section post in a manner such that the cables tend to stay in contact with the impacting object.
