So, it needs the control cable, a power cable and could possibly have a
third cable for USB?

The K-Pod datasheet says, "A USB port is provided on the K-Pod for firmware updates
and future station control uses."
Does this mean I can connect the USB cable to my PC only when I want to upgrade
the firmware using the K-Pod Utility?
Or must the USB be always connected?
You'd only need to connect the USB cable if you were using the K-Pod Utility
app to update your pod's firmware or change its switch behavior.
On the other hand, with future firmware (not committing to anything, yet!) the
K-Pod should be able to emulate a mouse, keyboard, or some combination of these
via its USB port. So you could use it as a general-purpose input device to
control software applications.
