How necessary is a 10 Gigabit Ethernet for a home office?

The need for a 10 Gigabit Ethernet for home office depends on the actual use case: for simple data exchange between different machines there most probably no need for 10 Gigabit - but if there's a use-case for video-streaming or other multi-media related tasks then a 10 Gigabit Ethernet network might be indicated.

What is gigabit in relation to Ethernet?

Gigabit in relation to Ethernet refers to the data transfer rate of 1 gigabit per second (Gbps), which is equivalent to 1,000 megabits per second (Mbps). This speed is commonly associated with Gigabit Ethernet standards, such as 1000BASE-T, which enable high-speed data transmission over twisted-pair cables. Gigabit Ethernet is widely used in local area networks (LANs) to support bandwidth-intensive applications and improve overall network performance.
