A seal for securing a cable to a fuse box includes a plastic body and a rubber insert. The plastic body has a receiving cavity along an inner surface. The rubber insert features an outside structure to join with the inner surface of the plastic body, an inside structure to surround the cable, and a fitting rib along an outside surface of the outside structure, the fitting rib to occupy the receiving cavity. The inside structure of the rubber insert moves in response to movement of the cable while the outside structure does not move.
