Those are the different speed of transmition for data packets in Ethernet networks, 10Base-T, basically means 10 Megabits per second (Mbps) over twisted pair cable, and Gigabit is 1000 Mbps, wich mean is a lot faster than old 10Base-T

10baseT = ethernet over twisted pair at a speed of 10 megabit per second. This is an older standard, created in the 90s when alternative ways to do ethernet used coax cabling (the T indicates the twisted pair cabling).
100baseT= Ethernet using 100 megabit per second over twisted pair. It's also known as fast ethernet. It's more correct to name it 100BASE-TX (as there where competing specifications).
Gigabit ethernet indicates a speed of 1000 megabit per second. Gigabit ethernet can be done over copper twisted pair as well. If done so the most popular standard is 1000BASE-T. Fiber optical connections are more popular at higher speeds and widely in use in infrastructure projects.

10 Baset = 10 MBps

100 Baset = 100 MBps called Fast Ethernet

Gigabit = 1 GBps
