1. A downhole device, comprising:
a tubular housing, the tubular housing having a length (L) and a sidewall thickness (t) defining an inside diameter (ID) and an outside diameter (OD);
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);
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 without the use of an end fitting in the tubular housing.
