Am looking to build a mini-USB cable with an RJ-11 plug on the other end.
Do/can anyone share with me their knowledge on building such a cable? I need to be able to transfer/receive data through a USB device to an analog phone device (RJ-11).
Will greatly appreciate any assistance.

I don't think there is any standard for using USB with such a connector so you are on your own.
The device into which you plug this custom cable will still have to support the USB protocol as either a USB device. Simply plugging it into an analog device with an RJ-11 jack won't work.
There are some USB modems and serial to USB converters that you could use to get from an RJ-11 telephone type interface to a host through a USB interface. This is what it sounds like you are going to need. If so, stick with whatever USB connectors it comes with.
You're going to need alot more than a cable to make this happen. Can you just use a USB modem? It already has a (regular sized) USB connector on one end and an RJ-11 connector on the other...
What are you trying to do?
If we read between your lines, it sounds like you are looking for a traditional analog telephone modem. There should be many of them available with USB interface. Just buy a USB cable with the appropriate connector on each end.
If that is NOT what you are asking for, you will need to fully describe what is at the RJ-11 end of your cable? And telling us what you are trying to do would be extraordinarily helpful.
