"You still need to identify the plug if it contains a fuse that could be anything from 1A to 13A."

Only if you are in the developed world.

You'll find out pretty quickly if the fuse is too small!

Though I'm sure it'll generate some downvotes, the idea of having a fuse in a cable is ridiculous. If a cable is in the US is UL listed, it will have the correct gauge for the length given the NEMA/IEC plug type, and it isn't permitted to for example have an 18 gauge cable that's 50 feet long just because you think you will only draw 1A across it.
