What is the diff between an AES and a regular XLR?


I have an unused 1m pair of Cardas Golden Reference XLR interconnects. Would one of the pair work as a digital balanced AES cable? If not what is the differences?

The pin connections are the same so it may work, but AES/EBU digital XLR cables are supposed to have an impedance of 110 ohms, while analog XLR cables may have a different impedance.
