The station, which is located at the altitude of +26 meters, is included in Operational Area I Jakarta of Kereta Api Indonesia and only serves the KRL Commuterline route.

Part of the station is located below Jakarta Inner Ring Road and M.T.

Although named as Cawang, administratively the station is not located in Cawang, Kramat Jati, East Jakarta, but is located some distance to the west of the subdistrict, and borders with Kebon Baru, Tebet, South Jakarta at its east.

Despite sharing the same name, the KRL station is not to be confused with the unrelated Cawang LRT Station on the Jabodebek LRT, which is actually located in Cawang District.
