From the manufacturer:

This pickup set combines the 496R and the 500T. Introduced in the early 1970s, Gibson's 496R pickup filled the need for a more powerful humbucker and helped energize the emergence of hard rock and heavy metal. With its powerful ceramic magnet, the 496R delivers incredible sustain and cutting power, adding more highs and increased definition without producing any muddiness at all. When used in conjunction with a ceramic bridge pickup such as the 500T, the 496R loses none of its incredible definition. The 496R features neck–spaced pole pieces and shielded four-conductor wiring for series, parallel, or split-coil operation. It is also fully wax-potted to eliminate any chance of microphonic feedback.

If it's no-holds-barred, in-your-face hard rock licks you want, look no further than the 500T. The Gibson 500T Super Ceramic Humbucker's powerful three ceramic magnet structure enables this monster humbucker™ to cover lots of territory. This Gibson ceramic pickup can scream or growl - never losing its rich combination of enhanced lows and crystal clear highs. Like the 496R, the 500T features shielded four-conductor wiring for series, parallel, or split-coil operation. It is also fully wax-potted to eliminate any chance of microphonic feedback.
