torn ribbon cable on ipad (help!)

Block Image

i have been fixing iphones, ipods, ipads, etc for some time now. I mainly focus on screen repairs. While removing the glass from the ipad mini I tore a cable in the top right corner near the rear view camera. Been searching online to find out what i tore and cant seem to find it so I came here seeking help. I can see that there are 2 solder points on the ribbon cable and i'm very tempted to soldering it but figured i would find out what it is before doing it. Please help asap would be great. thank you. below is a picture of the torn cable.

i'm not sure what cable this is i have been searching online can't seem to find what it is. picture [IMG]http://i65.tinypic.com/2mr8f1c.png[/IMG]

If it's connected through a RF connector, it's an antenna, either for GPS or for cellular.

If it's a ZIF connector, it's the prox sensor, which is only used to shunt RF TX power to satisfy SAR regulations, in other words, useless.
