5150 XLR link hookup?
Hey everyone, I been trying to find out what kind of cable and ends do you need to link the A and B cabs together with the XLR out on the A cab. I have seen XLR to 1/4 cable but is that safe? I don’t want to burn out the wires in the cabinets

You won't damage the cabinet wiring. The amp doesn't have the power to melt wires.
Did you know that in some cases a loud fast noise from the cab can blow a 1/4" plug right out of the jack. That is why they added the XLR jacks, which are not open to the inside.
I don't recall how the XLRs are wired. Easiest thing is to just use two cords, one for each cab, plugged into the amp head. And a bonus that way is you don't need any special cords.
