## Overview
[u/noced](https://www.reddit.com/u/noced)and I have a [Tecmojo 12U Wall Mount Rack Network Cabinet](https://amzn.to/4424n5t). Overall, the rack is great, but it sags quite a bit if you put a heavy rackmount UPS in the bottom. To compensate for this, I designed a simple, though not terribly inexpensive, support bracket using SuperStrut.
