Is It Safe To Bypass The Rated Fuse Rating In This Situation?

I would suggest that you stay with 10A fuses.

Current and voltage ratings are based on completely different part parameters - voltage rating depends on insulation thickness and material, where current rating depends on conductor thickness and material.

So if a part specifies 10A, you'd be better off not exceeding that rating, regardless of the voltage in the part.

Alright thanks guys, I've decided to take your advice and go with a connector that doesn't incorporate a fuse. Instead I'll just stick in a 15A breaker and that should do the trick.
