Case Fan Cables thread: confusion and mystery cable edition.

ITT: post pictures and talk about computer and case fan wiring.
I bought 2 Rosewill RFA-120-K Fans. They came with these wire assemblies (pic related) that seem to be missing some wires. The fans run when tested on their own but do not work when I use these extension cables to plug them into the three pin connector on my motherboard.
Is this supposed to be just a straight up PSU Molex to 3-pin fan adapter?
If so then what's the other 3-pin port for?
I or am I supposed to connect both the PSU and the Mobo to the fan though this cable?
Normally you would't do that so I don't see the point in having such a cable.
If the connectors had its black yellow And red wires (instead of just yellow and black for the 3-pin and red and black on the Molex) then I could see this wire being useful in connecting 2 fans to the same 3-pin fan controller on my motherboard.
As the situation stands though I have 2 working case fans to install and these extension cables that came with them don't seem to be useful in getting power to them.
Can you help me?
