Our take
Choose the CableCreation CD0136 when a USB-C computer needs three USB 3.0 data ports and wired Ethernet. Its key unresolved point is the USB-C PD role: the title mentions charging, but the reviewed product details do not establish wattage or direction.
A USB-C computer user who wants several USB data connections and wired networking, and does not need confirmed video output or a known laptop-charging path..
Skip it if you need a documented monitor output, a confirmed high-wattage laptop charging path, or an exact Amazon listing already mapped to the model.
Pros & cons
What could work for you, and what to consider before buying.
What works in its favor
- The product page names CD0136 and lists three USB 3.1 Gen 1/USB 3.0 data ports.
- Gigabit Ethernet up to 1000Mbps and slower fallback rates are documented.
- The page claims plug-and-play compatibility with Mac OS, Windows, and Linux.
What to weigh up
- PD wattage, charger requirement, and power direction are not established by the reviewed details.
- No HDMI, VGA, or DisplayPort output is listed.
- Historical ASIN B01COH17PS and a current Amazon offer are not verified for CD0136.

Full review: how the features affect your choice
What the features mean for you
A practical layout for USB peripherals plus a wired network
The CD0136 page describes a compact five-in-one USB-C hub centered on three USB 3.0 data connections and one Gigabit Ethernet port. This combination can make sense when a laptop needs several USB-A peripherals and wired networking but does not need the screen outputs, card readers, or audio sockets found on a larger dock. The model identifier is useful because CableCreation sells multiple hubs with similar titles; search for CD0136 rather than selecting by brand alone. The product source does not list HDMI, VGA, or DisplayPort, so evaluate it as a data and network hub, not as a display adapter.
Use the three USB ports for devices that benefit from them
The page calls the three USB connections USB 3.1 Gen 1, also labelled USB 3.0. That identifies the interface class, but gives no benchmark, controller, shared-bandwidth behavior, or total current limit. Compatible flash drives and external storage can use a faster USB generation than USB 2.0, while keyboards, mice, and other lower-rate peripherals can share the hub for convenience. Actual transfer speed still depends on the host port, attached drive, cable, file size, and other connected devices. Buyers who require sustained throughput across several drives should confirm the controller and simultaneous-use behavior with the exact seller or manual.
Check the Ethernet link and local network chain
CableCreation lists Ethernet up to 1000Mbps and compatibility with slower 100/10/1Mbps links. This offers a wired option for a computer without a built-in RJ45 port. A gigabit link is only one part of network throughput: the router or switch port, cable category, network service, computer, and network traffic all affect the actual result. The page does not identify the Ethernet chipset or provide a platform-by-platform driver matrix. It says the hub is plug-and-play and compatible with Mac OS, Windows, and Linux, but anyone relying on a particular kernel or managed corporate device should check driver requirements before deployment.
Do not infer PD behavior from the five-in-one title
The page title mentions USB-C PD charging, but the feature details reviewed here do not identify an input or output direction or maximum wattage. That missing information matters: some hubs use USB-C as a charger input for pass-through power to the laptop, while other USB-C connections serve a different function. This review does not assume which role CD0136's port serves or how much power reaches the host. If charging is part of the planned setup, verify the exact model's connector diagram, PD rating, and charger requirement, then compare those details with the laptop's charging profile. Do not count the port as a high-wattage output based on the word “PD” alone.
Match the model and exact seller offer
The CableCreation page gives a clear model code and a three-USB-plus-Ethernet configuration, but it does not show a crosswalk to B01COH17PS. The Amazon detail page for that historical ASIN was not readable during the saved review, so the tagged model search is an inspection route rather than proof of a current listing. Before ordering, compare the CD0136 label, USB host connector, three USB ports, and Ethernet jack. Also confirm whether the specific offer includes a charging cable or expects a separate PD adapter; the inspected description does not settle package contents. This review relies on product-page specifications only and makes no claim about hands-on testing, customer-review trends, present price, stock, or sales.
