Sealing the outer sheath into an enclosure is quite easy as glands exist
for this purpose with round cables. But to be sure moisture can't enter a
stripped back cable it needs to be potted in a suitable compound. Such
things are available from any decent electrical wholesaler.

What would be nice is a trade-name or process name for ,say, conductor
moulded into sheathing so if the open end sealing fails it cannot migrate
along the cable.
Basicly a cable that you cannot use a wire-stripper tool on and cleave the
sheathing away without leaving sheathing adhering to the conductor,
presumably single strand.
