    What is this black heat shrink surrounding the red cable in the middle and when installing this onto a motherboard can I just use some sort of glue?

    Thanks.

    It looks like a choke/filter under the shrink wrap. These are usually EMI filters to stop emissions propagating along the cable.

    I'm not sure why you would want to glue this onto a motherboard, is it to stop the connector coming out?

    I haven't opened the laptop up yet and I haven't ran across a jack like this before - I never thought until you said it there that it probably just sits in!

    I expected initially that I would need to use a soldering iron!
