Can a QSFP28 to SFP28 breakout cable work in a QSFP and SFP+ ports? I know they are backwards compatible but just double checking.

We are trying to future proof our cabling purchases and just want to verify with some of you that may have done this. We are trying to do QSFP28 to SFP28 breakout cables to connect, right now, Netapp equipment that as of now have QSFP ports on the switch end and SFP+ on the node end. Thanks for any comments and advise in advance!
