QSFP+ 40Gb cable from server to multiple SFP+ hosts?

Hello! We have an old server in our store and we want 10GbE connectivity between the server and 3-4 hosts.

We don't have the budget or the space for a 10GbE switch that is silent enough to operate within the premises.

What I would like to know is if a QSFP+ breakout cable can be used with a 40GbE card on the host and 10GbE SFP+ cards on the clients, negating the need for a switch. Is this something that can be done and that is supported or is it only meant for switches with custom firmware settings?

Thank you!
