The application is not phone lines, so data assignment is irrelevant.
RJ12 and RJ25 are both 6P6C, which is all that matters.

By the way, the tanning bed uses cables with RJ10 at one end, RJ14 the
other. RJ10 is sold in stores as "handset" jacks. They're smaller, 4P4C.
The fact the cables have dissimilar ends means the manufacturer tried to
force customers to buy cables from them, at an over inflated price. I
can't find RJ10 plug ends anywhere in Winnipeg, but that's Ok. Just by a
"handset" cable with RJ10 on both ends, cut off one and crimp on RJ14. A
normal telephone jack crimping tool can apply RJ11 or RJ14 plug ends.
Although for some reason only has 4 blades, not 6, so won't work with
RJ12 or RJ25.

But customer got impatient, took the circuit board back. Said he'll
order a new board. He said the manufacturer charges hundreds of dollars.
His impatience will cost him. Oh well.
