Personally I don’t like using electrical tape as it deteriorates over time and leaves sticky residue if you try to remove it later. I would use either of the following Cable ties, Heat shrink, Rubber splicing tape, Split or Spiral conduit

might find it hard to get the heat shrink on the cables as there probably already connected to something unless you want to pull it appart but otherwise looks good but expencive. spiral wrap would be easier to install but you can only get it in clear i think.
