2012 Macbook Pro Optical Drive Swap

Today I upgraded my A1278 Macbook Pro 2012 13 inch by replacing the optical drive (CD Player) which I don't use with a caddy that can hold a sata3 hard drive. I put the original macintosh HD into the caddy.

As I was trying to pull the connector out of the socket at the 1:00 mark it pulled the wires - what is this for? do I still need it now that I am not using the optical drive?
