Good Morning

I have a series of Henley blocks suppling db’s. Henly block are protected by an bs88 63amp fuse. We have a 2.5mm 6181y cable feeding a isolator which in turns feeds a fire alarm panel, this 2.5mm cable is around 0.5 metre long and within the fire alarm isolator, there is a 20amp fuse. Would this be overrated or due to in the 2m rule be ok? Thanks
 
It may satisfy overcurrent requirements but possibly not fault or short circuit requirements.
