That gives you 48 slots for line cards.You really can't. Cables need to come from the top, not from the sides, or they'll block the path of other linecards.
Hum, good point. "Cram" may not be a strong enough term :) It'd work on the horizontal slot chassis types (4/8 slot), but not the vertical (16/32 slot).
You might be able to make it fit if you didn't care about maintainability, I guess. There's some room to maneuver if you don't care about being able to get the power supplies out, too. I don't recommend this approach... Those MRJ21 cables are not easy to work with as it is.
