1. A cable lock, comprising:
at least one cable channel, each cable channel comprising,
a top-side cable orifice disposed on a top side of the cable lock,
a bottom-side cable orifice disposed on a bottom side of the cable lock,
said top-side cable orifice having internal communication through a body of the cable lock with the bottom-side cable orifice, and wherein
the at least one cable channel is adapted to receive a slidable cable which passes through the at least one cable channel and out of the top-side and bottom-side cable orifices;
a slidable cable locking mechanism that whenever in a locked state prevents movement of the slidable cable into the top-side cable orifice of the cable channel, through the at least one cable channel and out of the bottom-side cable orifice, but allows the movement of the slidable cable into the bottom-side cable orifice of the at least one cable channel, through the at least one cable channel and out of the top-side cable orifice, and that whenever the slidable cable locking mechanism is in an unlocked state, the slidable cable locking mechanism allows movement of the slidable cable into the top-side cable orifice of the at least one cable channel, through the at least one cable channel, and out of the bottom-side cable orifice when a slidable cable release mechanism is activated, and allows the movement of the slidable cable into the bottom-side cable orifice of the at least one cable channel, through the at least one cable channel and out of the top-side cable orifice regardless of whether the slidable cable release mechanism is activated or not.
