If the 2 amps is the output amperage of the power supply, the maximum that should be drawn from the unit is 2 amps. The load amperage that is connected to the power supply should govern the amperage of the fuse used. There is not much range there, the fusing could go from .25 to 2 amps. If the input amperage is 2 amps then the input and output voltage of the power supply should be stated.

Wire is sized by the amperage of the load. Without knowing what the load amperage,the voltage and whether the load is three phase or single phaseat the dock, an answer can not be given.
Wire is sized by the amperage that it will carry. 5 kW is 5000 watts. The equation to find watts is W = Amps x Volts. The equation to find amps is Amps = Watts/Volts. As you can see a voltage is needed to calculate the amperage. Once the amperage is stated, the wire size can be given for that particular amperage.
The use of a breaker in a circuit is to protect the wire size used in the circuit from becoming overloaded. Using the wattage of the load does not help for breaker sizing because the breaker operates on amperage. Amperage can be found from wattage by using the following equation. I = W /E. Amps = Watts / Volts. As you can see the amperage can not be calculated because there is no voltage stated.
