What is this ribbon?

Can anyone tell me what this ribbon cable does? I purchased a Pi Zero W as part of a kit and this was included, but I cannot seem to find what I can use it to connect (or why). See photo enclosed:

It might be the camera cable.

@MMRIZE Interesting. I didn’t get a camera with my Zero bundle, though. But I guess it’s better to have a cable and not a camera than a camera without a cable?

@davidgagne
:) You can purchase additional Pi Cam’s as if you want.

@davidgagne In this case, yes, because the CSI port on the Zero isn’t the standard port… at least the old standard. Now it’s a pair of MIPI connectors for that, so everything’s gotta change again 🤣
