Using Connection Strip with Ferrules

When connecting flexible wires using connection strip with screws  it is recommended that one uses cord end sleeves or ferrules. What I realized if I connect two ferrules (1 In and 1 Out) the Insulation Jacket of ferules will not sufficiently enter the hole . and installation will end up as the attached figure. I am wondering if such connection is acceptable.

Note: in most cases I have 2x2.5mm2  Flex Wires In using Twin Ferrule and 1x2.5mm2 Flex wires out using single ferrule and I am using 10mm2 Connection strip

Another question is it acceptable to cut a little bit from the crimped ferrules so that they will enter sufficiently.

    Please use din rail terminals. These will take ferrules cables perfectly. Please also use a proper ferrule crimper. (Not pliers or the screw terminal screw). You'll also need a blank end to insulate the last din rail terminal and a stop end. such as:

    Weidmuller EW Series ATEX End Bracket. and Wago 2002 Series End & Intermediate Plate
