I have a Powerpole connector based power bar that has the fuses in the
power bar, so I don't have to worry about that inline fuse connector
myself.

What I would suggest is using black (or red/black) lamp ('zip') cord,
and covering the inline fuse connector's wire leads with heat shrink
tubing. Also using a short amount of heat shrink tubing as strain
relief at the end connectors, rather than electrical tape.

Of course neatness is easier said then done.
