This is another good way to go, make sure you have a single mode handoff from the IX (you should, but double check this, orange fiber and yellow fiber are very different physically in size and generally not compatible. -Ben Cannon CEO 6x7 Networks & 6x7 Telecom, LLC ben@6by7.net <mailto:ben@6by7.net>

I think you're looking for an MTP breakout cable, rather than a QSFP28 breakout.
The MTP breakout requires separate optics, whereas the active breakout can plug directly into a device's SFP+ ports.

You'll also need to tell your device to break out it's 40 g into the component 10g channels. Then they'll each get a distinct port number. (Usually just a number appended to the parent port)
