Hello, I wanted to know how do you terminate (put end cap) on a Twin & Earth Cable? I've been searching for caps but they are more of connectors than end caps. I've some spare WAGO 222-412 2-Port Lever Cage Clamp Terminal Block Connectors, can I put one in each cable, see image. If not then please suggest any good end caps.

Thanks

Are they going to be left unused but live? How will you be enclosing them?

Yes, they will be unused & live. Good question on enclosing them. I can put them inside Wago Junction Box. Does it sound good?
 
Will any prescribed zones (aka 'safe zones') be compromised by whatever item has been removed?
 
Note that the Wagos on line and neutral in the picture are not properly installed. Too much insulation has been stripped off, resulting in bare copper showing outside the Wago. The correct strip length is shown by a marker on the underside.

The image was just a demo and not actual circuit. I'll install insulation in the neutral when fixing it. I wanted to know if this type of arrangement is ok?

Yes. Cables to WAGO. In a WAGO BOX. Cable Tie. Sorted.
It's just the same as using the WAGO BOX as a junction box. You just have no other cables. And easy to adapt in future as required.
