What happens here

Carefully use a utility knife to slit the outer insulation of both cord ends, exposing the internal black and white insulated wires. Be cautious not to cut into the inner wire insulation. Remove any fibrous material around the inner wires. Next, use wire strippers to strip about 1/2 inch of insulation from the ends of both the black and white wires on both sides of the cord. Then, unbundle and separate the individual copper strands from each other.

Goal: Expose and prepare the copper wire strands for connection.
