Whats with the battery powered hub, and why do you need to strip the extension cable?

ok so this is how it works...the USA H3xx does not send power through the USB host cable(via the media port) but all the other connections are in tact...
A normal usb device sends power to the device its connected....
So we have to replicate this function but not only do we need to have a the device powered we also have to send power back to the iriver(sending power back to the iriver powers up the essential componenets inside needed to do USBOTG)...
The battery powered usb hub allows us to make a three way power connection(power to the iriver, to the connected device and back to the hub)...but the question where do we make this connection??? so i chose to make the connection in the extension cable...alternative you can make the connection by opening up the usb hub which is more risky in my opinion....
The great thing about this battery powered hub is that the batteries are rechargeable...
