What EOL-hot means for this exact order code
The 1FK7044-4CF71-1DB0: Lifecycle stage eol_hot means production has wound down and remaining supply moves through independent distribution: dealer overstock, factory-pull surplus, and broker-traced stock. Each unit carries its own traceability and warranty history, so the realistic procurement path is to quote an RFQ against the part number and have the channel and quantity confirmed at quote time rather than assumed up front.
