Lifecycle read — EOL hot, and what that changes
The 1FK7042-2AF71-1DH0: Lifecycle is flagged eol_hot on the listing — past the standard ordering window for new factory stock, so the realistic channel is independent distribution: lot-traced surplus pulled from decommissioned lines or broker inventory, with traceability paperwork handed over at the RFQ. For a procurement buyer that signal usually means the BOM line stays open only as long as a traceable lot turns up. Pricing and any quantity breaks get confirmed at quote time against the specific lot on hand — there is no back-order window to lean on once this stock is gone.
