the cable in question is 4 pin and is labeled (down its front)

VCC
D-
D+
GND
GND

What does this do and what is it? It's not yet connected to my motherboard and it came with my case. Can I just not plug it in?

It's definitely an USB port.
Either leave it alone or see if your motherboard as USB headers on it, but be careful. USB is POWERED, that VCC is a +5 Volt, 500mA (or more), so if plugging it wrong, it may short-circuit or melt something...
Don't touch it if you're not sure what to do.
