Pulled 2 miles of cat6 in a 90 degree attic in Phoenix last Thursday
Had a job over near the 101 and Cactus where they wanted ethernet to every room of a two-story. I sweated through two shirts by 11 AM and my Klein crimpers felt like they were melting in my hand. Got it all done by 5 though and the homeowner brought out cold Gatorades. Anybody got a trick for keeping water cold in attics without a cooler?

Honestly, it's Cat6, not Cat6a for that length in Phoenix heat.

Yeah that 90 degree attic work is brutal... I started freezing a couple Powerades solid overnight and wrapping them in a towel inside my tool bag. They thaw slow through the morning and I still had cold ones at 3 PM. Also started wearing a cooling rag around my neck, the kind you wet and snap, helps a little but not much in that dry heat.
