Many 2.5" external USB enclosures come with a "power injector" cable that has a normal USB A connector, a power-only USB A connector, and a mini-A cable.

With this cable, ANY USB hub without an integrated upstream cable can get power injected upstream to the 770/N800.

If you get a gender changer, then you can use it with hubs that have an integrated upstream cable.

Is this the right connector?

Just needs the gender changing on one male A plug to accept the hub's host cable... ?
