This thread on SpeakEV may be useful - The chap used a 12v wrap around his cable so that it was illuminated at night, a potentialy one-up to your hi vis option which obviously only reflects light and so depending on the lighting around may not offer as much illumination as you'd wish for.

You could wrap reflective adhesive tape around it but people will still trip over it. If this is for your home, probably better off with a cable ramp.

I have some reflective tape around mine.
Why they make black cables I don't know.
I bought an extra cable to keep in the car and this one is bright green.
