RØDE make this - http://www.rode.com/accessories/sc6-l
They also make an iXLR, although I’m not sure if it provides phantom power.
which item did you buy? If it is a proper, functioning "USB powered hub" then yes it will provide enough power to iPad and peripherals. Check your power cable, power sources, etc. return it if it doesn't work
Also, a USB powered hub never sends power to charge the computer host (in this case, the host is your 10.5" iPad). So it won't ever charge your iPad.
If you want to use a USB hub and also charge your iPad you need this:

that cable has a USB port (for hosting your USB hub) and also a standard lighting port for charging the iPad 10.5"
looks nice with the stereo in - but no usb hub, or power.
for audio when not at home sketching, I use a this usb/audio dongle - works ok with apple camera adapter and no other power - surprised with how clean it is, only mono in.

Ah sorry @jollyDodger, I misread your post.. A powered hub. I haven’t used one since the last one popped with a puff of smoke..Lucky for me it didn’t blow the iPad. So all I can say about powered hubs is ‘be careful’.
