A base member is formed at a portion of an outer surface thereof positioned around each of cable insertion holes with a cylindrical pocket, in which a cable bush made of a rubber-like elastic material and formed with a through-hole communicating with a respective one of the cable insertion holes is fittedly arranged. A cable seal cap which has a raised surface for abutting against the cable bush is releasably fitted in the cylindrical pocket to bring the cable bush into elastic contact with a cable.
