What (if any) advantages are there for positioning overload protection at the end of a cable

Good day all

What (if any) advantages are there for positioning overload protection at the end of a cable ?

(presuming fault protection is provided at the beginning)

    What if the energy flows in both directions, what is the end or the beginning?  How long is the cable in question?  AC or DC?

    One possible advantage could be an overload protection at the end of the cable means it might be in close proximity to the device.  EG a lathe in a work shop with thermal and over current protection
