What is the name of the cable that is broken on my phone?

I had the issue that my audio jack didn't work and so I replaced the part, by doing that I noticed the real issue: a little cable broke (not during my repairs).
It's the little plug connecting the charging and audiojack with the main board.

That would be a coaxial cable for the cellular antenna to feed the signal to the motherboard. In one repair guide I found it's called an interconnect cable, but hard to say if that's an artifact of the translation from French or not.

At any rate, here's a guide that shows how to replace that particular part.

As mentioned in that guide, that cable is typically replaced for these reasons.

  • Torn cable
  • Loss of 3G / 4G network
  • Bad network reception
