Does anyone have any suggestions for air-intake filters for these switches?

Filters on the switch is dangerous, do not know of many equipment manufacturers that accomodate or suggest filters on equipment like switches and routers.

Better to put equipment in a box with filters and exhaust fans. If a box filter becomes clogged and they will without regular maintenance and good diligence the equipment inside will run HOT but not burn up so quick that you are not getting thermal alerts as the switch fan will still be able to circulate air over components but if a switch becomes starved for air heat will build up fast.
