Oh no, Doc. Not at all right. You are asking for crosstalk and next issues.
Always leave as much twist as possible and never more than than 3/8" or so untwisted. If you're doing an RJ45 then yes you expose more wire to push into the connector but do not strip 1' of the sheathing off. Maybe 3" or so. The end of the sheathing should be able to be pushed into the exposed end of the RJ45 connector.
For a punchdown on a patch panel strip about 3/4" of the sheathing off at most. Then be sure that no more than 3/8" of the cables are untwisted.

Sorry, the “-those guys, usually” was meant to represent the state of the jacks I’ve seen in the walls done by other people and poke fun at them.
…I leave mine tightly bound. Sometimes when I want to spare my fingers I’ll undo a whole 1.5” from the end, then punch close to the coil and trim the excess.
But i am also a dumbass who retrofitted Cat6A through most of his house (though I didn’t buy shielded cable).
