2 powers
2 grounds

The pin markings are a bit confusing, but anyways here is a translation.

USB_FP_P0- = D -

USB_FP_P0+ = D+

VREG_FP_USBPWR0 = +5v power

GROUND = obvious

KEY = what it says

USB_FP_OC0 = not used

I would respectfully submit that the bottom line is that you should have both cables running parallel to each other; ie the power vs the ground should be matched up when you connect them; contrary to some boards where they are "flipped" around so that the ground on one end matches up with the power/data on the other end.
