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... ?
