Do yourself a favor and make a small converter box out of a 2 port surface mount box.
Put an 8p8c jack and a 6p4c or 6p6c jack in it
Do the cross connections in the box and use a 1 foot patch cord and a standard phone cord.
Keep in mind that phone cords reverse so wire it accordingly. Make sure it works with off the shelf cords to limit confusion down the road

Bill, my bad. I thought the post count worked differently.
I guess I just can't wrap my head around the fact that the only company found on the web called "cashlane" is an on-line consumer products discounter.
There is a company called "Cashline" in the Netherlands that makes POS systems. Their website boasts of a whopping 900 systems sold, and hasn't been updated since 2006.
A mysterious company indeed, this cashlane.

My company can make that cable pretty easily.
Edit: never mind. OP stated that this cable doesn't work.

Can you find out from your customer the manufacture of the "cashlane" system? That might be of some help figuring out how to configure a cable.

I looked up "cashline" using Google. One search led me to casline.ca, which redirected me to DirectCash.net.
I got to thinking that someone from Texas saying "cashline" might sound like they are saying "cashlane" (sorry, that's this Californian's point of view).
At any rate, I'm guessing this machine was purchased through a secondary market supplier, who can't actually get the right cable.
Nice job on the diagram, by the way.

"Cash Lane" is just a catch-all term used in the POS industry, though it's used a lot more in Canada and Europe than in the good old U.S. of A.
Without actually looking it up, this cable reminds me of the Communications cable from certain Sharp POS systems. The inter-register communication line is RS-485, and this cable would plug in to the register at the 4P end, then plug into an RJ45 jack at the other end. It is a bit confusing, because it looks like you should be able to just plug it into an ethernet switch, but you can't. If this is, in fact, the cable I'm thinking of, there is an embedded diode so if you accidently plug it into an ethernet port you don't blow up the port on the register.
Anyway, the person probably thought they could buy another register on ePay and hook it up to an existing system. Oops.
