XLR to XLR for powered speakers, but only finding "microphone" cables

So I'm looking to get some new XLR cables because the current ones I have are just old, but I want to make sure I get the right ones. I'm have a Numark NS7III controller, and I'll be using the XLR outputs to go directly into powered speakers with XLR inputs. I used Sweetwater's cable finder tool to help me out, but every cable it's showing me is being called a microphone cable. Since it's coming directly from them I'm pretty sure they will work fine, but I wanted to ask for other opinions and I have heard numerous times "don't use microphones cables on powered speakers", but I'm pretty sure that was regarding 1/4" plugs and the whole TS vs. TRS thing. Cany anyone confirm thought that when it's XLR to XLR, microphone cables are perfectly fine to run from a controller to powered speakers?
