Where is the problem?

I am wanting to do some recording, but I am having issues with static. I am trying to record through a Yanmai Y20 microphone with an Amazon Basics XLR Cable, to a Behringer U-Phoria UM2 audio interface. I am not sure where the problem is coming from... The microphone is what I believe is the problem, although it could be any one of them. I only have 1 mic and audio interface so I can't test those. When I use the microphone with the cable it came with (male XLR to male 3.5 mm Aux) it has near no static, and additionally, when I use the amazon basics XLR cable as an extension cable, there is still the same minimal static. If anyone has the equipment to test these products or has any advice, that would be much appreciated. If any extra info is needed, I am happy to provide.
Thanks!
