    Abstract: A cable lock comprising a housing, a cable anchored to the housing, and a cable passageway through the housing for receiving the free end of the cable includes a cable clamping member and a key operated cam assembly which the lock is selectively operable for introducing the free end of the cable into either of the opposite ends of the cable passageway, for enabling displacement of the free end only in the direction of introduction through the passageway, for precluding displacement of the cable in either of the opposite directions in the passageway, and for releasing the cable for movement freely in both of the opposite directions. The mounted end of the cable is pivotally displaceable between positions in which the mounting end extends toward the side of the housing on which the selected entrance end of the passageway is located.
