Data sync cable power port?

On the side of my data sync cable there is a port that accepts the 3-pin charger plug.

What is this for? I thought the phone already charges through USB. I don't see anything about this in the user's manual and haven't found anything by searching forums.

Other phones that use that data cable ( eg A1000, A925) need more current to charge their batteries - the supplimentary ac adapter socket means they don't overwhelm your motherboard's USB output and kill your comp's PSU. Don't worry about it with a 220 unless you have a weedy PSU or many USB devices. Is that the cable you got in the box?

Yes, it's the one that came with the phone. No problems charging with USB so far so I guess I don't need to use the auxiliary power supply.
