XLR refers, not to the cable (wire) per se, but actually to the type of connector used. An XLR connector has 3-pins and is used primarily in audio. Professional microphones and other audio equipment use it. Of the three pins, two are for the balanced signal, and one is for the shield. The wire used then is a two conductor shielded cable using a braided wire or a foil shield. So, an "XLR cable" refers to a two conductor, shielded cable with XLR connectors on each end.
