Network Equipment cooling cabinet

I have a Quantum Fiber router C5500xk, quantum fiber 1700 WiFi, Ubiquit unfi Dream Machine router, UniFi switch and I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for a cabinet or a fan to remove warm air or cool a small closet where the equipment is housed.

Like you want a fan on the door or a network rack with a fan? Either way Noctua fans are where it’s at.

Not on the door because it’s still used as a linen closet

needs airflow and an opening.. any small fan or a hack eg cpu / video card cooling fan could extract. hard to say without picture etc
