Aes-ebu vs. balanced cable

I need to run a cable (male to female) between my dac and a reclocking device. The dac input is labeled aes-ebu. The plugs on both devices look the same as xlr. One cable distributor said to just use a balanced interconnect, which I already have. Others have said I need need a special aes-ebu 110 cable.  I don’t really understand such details. Can anyone offer advice on who is right and whether to buy an aes ebu cable? Would it do any harm to tryna balanced interconnect?
