I am planning to get some new cables for a 40G setup. And see that on Ebay I can find QSP28 cables for 100G for about the same price as ordinary QSFP+ cables. I guess that the improved QSP28 DAC cables would work, but could anyone confirm that?

i think so, yes. At least i have tested a 20m mellanox cable with my CX3 cards and can't remember issues. Your mileage may vary.
