That would work fine, though I’m always reluctant to put fusing at the top of a tower. It’s not going to protect much of anything and you are going to be climbing to replace it, probably in shitty weather.
The point of fusing is to protect the wiring from melting and creating fires. It’s not really equipment protection. If the radio head has an internal failure the fuse isn’t going to save it. The one place the fuse at the distribution point at the top of the tower might save you with an internal radio failure is by blowing and not taking out power to the other equipment. But you still have to climb to fix it. Personally I think it’s better to keep the fusing on the ground where it’s easy to get to. If you have to use a common power supply to feed multiple radios I personally would not fuse them individually.
