I think your best bet is the rubbery type self amalgamating tape. Careful
application will produce a nice variable flexabilty strain relief. On the
common 2 or 3 mm overall dia PC mic cables and even smaller cores getting
the stuff on can be tricky. The problem is the tension, you need to
stretch it to a good twice it's supplied length. You can get away with
making a narrow strip say 1/2" wide and only and 1" or 2 long, stretching
it then applying it. Most tension is required for the initial stretch,
once streched it doesn't fully spring back so doesn't need as much
tension to apply.

This stuff forms a very good seal and lasts donkeys years outside. I've
taken it of N type aerial conections that have been roof top exposed for
5 years (may be nearer 10 years) and the connectors inside were as
bright and clean as the day I wrapped 'em up.
