Abstract
Provided is a downhole device, a well system, and a method. The downhole device, in one aspect, includes a tubular housing, the tubular housing having a length (L) and a sidewall thickness (t) defining an inside diameter (ID) an outside diameter (OD). The downhole device, according to this aspect, further includes a control line bypass channel located in the outside diameter (OD) of the sidewall thickness (t) and extending along an entirety of the length (L). The downhole device according to this aspect further includes a radial retention mechanism extending across the control line bypass channel, the radial retention mechanism configured to radially fix a control line within the control line bypass channel, and an axial retention mechanism positioned in the control line bypass channel, the axial retention mechanism configured to frictionally and axially fix the control line within the control line bypass channel.
