QSFP Splitter Cable on Nexus 3172

I am interested in using the QSFP Passive Copper Splitter Cables that breaks a 40Gig port into 4 x10Gig copper SFP+ and below is the exact part number. Can I connect the 4x10Gig cable ends to different Cisco Switches or do all four 10Gig ports need to connect to the same device at the 10Gig end? 

 

QSFP-4SFP10G-CU3M Cisco 40GBASE-CR4 QSFP to 4 10GBASE-CU SFP+ direct-attach breakout cable, 3-meter, passive

 

If possible I would like to connect each of the 10Gig connections to a different Cisco 2960X switch using the splitter cable to the 3172 40gig port at the 3172 end?

Thx

Connecting the 10Gig sides to different devices should not be an issue.  I have connected the 4 10Gigs to 4 different FEXes.
